2. Excellent - as long as it isn't extra to PAYE
3. I am married, no children, but the 14.6% was on much less than 200k, more like half of that! That was via both the credit suisse and UBS calculators, who estimated approx 14.6% tax liability for the year on my gross. I thought this seemed quite high!
4. So I will have 5% AVG, 1-2% other insurances, 6.1% social contributions, 14.6% tax at source and any personal pension (pillar 2 or 3a) that I decide to take out? I guess thats 27-28% (give or take when each percentage is applied) which is still marginally less than the UK. | |

Erhh, No that is not quite what I said!
3. Check out the attached table - this is for Quellensteuer. The mistake you have used is to use your salary in a Swiss tax based calculation. This is the taxable income ie after deductions which of course will bump your brutto salary right up...
4. Note here I have assumed you are referring to AHV (AVG is something completely different and does not apply to you!) and this is 5.05% plus ca 1% ALV (unemployment money) you can then have 1 or 2% more for other insurances such as daily sickness allowance, private accident insurance etc.
So in total, based on a salary of circa 100K you will be paying around 16% in deductions.
