Summary
If you make CHF 100'000 a year living in the region of St. Gallen, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 27'808. That means that your net pay will be CHF 72'192 per year, or CHF 6'016 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.8% and your marginal tax rate is 38.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
