Total tax paid
CHF 16'840
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 8'458 to pay you CHF 48'000. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 3.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.5% tax rate now rises to 29.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
