Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 11'101 to pay you CHF 90'083. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 5.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.9% tax rate now rises to 50.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 1'080'996 a year living in the region of Zurich, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 485'018. That means that your net pay will be CHF 595'978 per year, or CHF 49'665 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.9% and your marginal tax rate is 47.1%. 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 47.08, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 52.92.
