Tax - Surprise!!!

Hi again
Well I got the job, and was happy with the offer, around 115,000chf, and some other benefits, free health insurance is one.
But the total tax was a big Surprise!!
I thought it would be around 19-25 %, but no, the total is over 33%, when I add the following.

Swiss Social Security 5,05%
Unemployement Insurance 1,00%
Maternite Insurance 0,02%
Old Age Pension Fund 7,00%


Taxes at Source 19,85%

Total tax 32,92%

after the extra 13% tax, the offer is not so good any more…..
