Assumptions
Tax year: 2026
Last updated: 2026-07-14
- Switzerland uses a simplified employee payroll model in this dataset rather than official canton-by-canton withholding tables.
- AHV/IV/EO is modeled at 5.3% on gross salary, ALV at 1.1% up to CHF 148,200 and 0.5% above that threshold.
- BVG is approximated as a flat 7% on coordinated salary after subtracting a CHF 25,725 coordination deduction, with no age bands in this MVP.
- NBU is estimated at 0.8% of gross salary.
- Quellensteuer is estimated with reference tariff bands for Zurich, Geneva, and Zug across tariffs A, B, and C, reduced by a flat per-child rate adjustment.
- All 26 cantons are available in the selector, and non-reference cantons currently reuse the nearest Zurich, Geneva, or Zug reference profile in this MVP.
- Church tax is modeled as a simple 2% multiplier on the estimated income-tax result when enabled.
