So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31% tax rate now rises to 41%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make CHF 194'400 a year living in the region of Zurich, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 60'251. That means that your net pay will be CHF 134'149 per year, or CHF 11'179 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% and your marginal tax rate is 42.2%. 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 42.2, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 57.8.
