Methodology and data source
Swiss Federal Tax Administration (ESTV), Swiss Tax Calculator
- Tax year
- 2026
- Coverage
- 26 cantons, 2'110 municipalities
Every figure on this page comes from the ESTV Swiss Tax Calculator for tax year 2026, retrieved on 5 October 2026. We did not estimate, interpolate or round anything beyond whole francs.
Assumptions
Profiles are employees with gross salary as stated, standard deductions as applied by the ESTV calculator, no church tax unless stated, and no wealth unless stated. Canton figures are those of the capital; ranges show the cheapest and the most expensive municipality.
Not included
Real estate gains tax, property transfer tax, property tax, withholding tax and source tax for foreign residents. Your own deductions (3a, commuting, childcare) change the result.
These are estimates for standard profiles, not tax advice. For your own return, use your canton's tax software or a tax adviser.
