Median Jura: CHF 16'261
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.

Medians are ElCom's published household electricity prices for consumption profile H4 (4'500 kWh a year, standard product, excl. VAT) for the tariff year shown. The solar figure sums the BFE modelled roof potential of the 50 municipalities with a model — what roofs could generate, not what is installed.
