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
The tariff gives a "simple tax", multiplied by the canton's rate of 78% and Zug's of 52%.
Taxable income for the cantonal and communal tax is net pay after these deductions:
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.
