Real tax rate
22.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11% tax rate now rises to 22.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 800 a year living in the region of Valais, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 88. That means that your net pay will be CHF 712 per year, or CHF 59.33 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.0% and your marginal tax rate is 8.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of CHF 100 in your salary will be taxed CHF 8, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 92.
