What is a tax multiplier (Steuerfuss)?

The multiplier is the percentage of the cantonal base tax that a municipality levies. Your municipal income tax = base tax × municipal multiplier. Canton and church add their own multipliers on the same base.

Are tax multipliers comparable between cantons?

No. Every canton defines its own base tax scale, so multipliers are only meaningful within one canton. For cross-canton comparisons you need the effective tax burden at a given income.

Is church tax included in this ranking?

No — the ranking uses the pure municipal multiplier. Church tax multipliers (Protestant and Roman Catholic) are listed separately in the table and apply only to registered church members.

How we measure this

ESTV

The municipal tax multiplier (Steuerfuss) is the percentage of the cantonal base tax (einfache Staatssteuer) a municipality levies; the 2026 values come from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (ESTV). Multipliers are NOT comparable across cantons — each canton defines its own base scale — which is why this ranking stays within one canton. Church tax is shown separately and applies only to registered members. 2 municipalities of the canton have no ESTV multiplier record and are not listed.
