Gross salary converted at ECB reference rates, then taxed under each place’s own rules. Employee income tax and mandatory social security only. How we calculate
Valais applies its own cantonal and communal scales directly (index 173% for the canton, 176% in Sion); Sion's communal coefficient is 1.1.
Taxable income for the cantonal and communal tax is net pay after these deductions:
A personal tax of CHF 24 a year is charged on top.
Direct federal tax is the same everywhere: from 0% on the first CHF 15,200 of taxable income up to 11.5% overall, after a 3% professional-expense deduction (CHF 2,000 to 4,000) and CHF 1,800 for insurance.
It uses only the standard flat deductions, as the federal tax calculator does by default: no commuting, meals or pillar 3a, which would lower your tax. Pension contributions follow the federal calculator's model for a 35-year-old; your fund's rate depends on your age and plan. No wealth tax is included.
