Disclaimer: This overview is an estimator. Effective rates depend on your municipality (tax multiplier), marital status, deductions and cantonal schedules. Where no public, consistent exemption figure was available, entries are marked “varies”. Always confirm with the cantonal/communal tax office or contact us.
Notes / Sources: Effective wealth tax rates at CHF 1m and CHF 5m are based on published 2024 reference tables for cantonal capitals (married, excluding church tax). Exemption thresholds shown where reliable public figures exist (e.g., Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Schwyz, Zug). Municipal multipliers vary by commune and year.
