Median Fribourg: CHF 16'515

Total income tax (federal, cantonal, municipal and personal tax) for a single person without children, no church affiliation, on CHF 100'000 gross employment income, tax year 2026. Because the same household is computed everywhere, the franc amounts are comparable across Switzerland — the tax multiplier is not.
