Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 14'900 a year living in the region of Zug, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 1'013. That means that your net pay will be CHF 13'887 per year, or CHF 1'157 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.8% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
