How we measure this

ESTV

Total income tax (federal, cantonal, municipal and personal tax) in Swiss francs for one fixed household: single, no children, aged 35, CHF 100'000 gross employment income, no confession, no wealth. Because the same household is calculated in every municipality, the amount is comparable across Switzerland — unlike the tax multiplier, which is a percentage of each canton’s own simple tax and therefore rests on a different base in every canton.
