Summary
If you make CHF 57'200 a year living in the region of Valais, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 11'104. That means that your net pay will be CHF 46'096 per year, or CHF 3'841 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.4% and your marginal tax rate is 31.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
