explain_tax_brackets
Find your Swiss tax bracket and marginal rate: enter location and taxable income to see bracket, rate, and next threshold.
Instructions
Show the statutory rate ladder and where an income sits in it.
Explains the number rather than just producing it: which bracket the household is in, the marginal rate there, and how far the next threshold is. The cantonal figure is the simple tax (einfache Staatssteuer), which the canton and municipality then multiply by their own rates.
The tax amount always comes from ESTV itself. The ladder is rebuilt from
the published scale, which a few cantons express as a formula rather than
a table; there the amount is still exact and ladder is simply absent.
