So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 36%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make CHF 104'000 a year living in the region of Zurich, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 24'954. That means that your net pay will be CHF 79'046 per year, or CHF 6'587 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% and your marginal tax rate is 34.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
