What you take home
Calculated from the median, by place of residence, per month as one twelfth of the year.
| Residence | Payout | After tax |
|---|---|---|
| Liechtenstein | CHF 7’637 | Tax follows with the assessment |
| Austria | CHF 7’280 | CHF 5’386 |
| Switzerland (Buchs SG) | CHF 7’280 | CHF 6’463 |
Residents of Liechtenstein are paid without tax being deducted. The tax administration bills income tax later with the assessment; it is not deducted here.
Cross-border commuters pay 4 % withholding tax in Liechtenstein. Their country of residence credits it against its own tax.
