Glarus Wealth Tax Calculator

Glarus Wealth Tax Calculator 2025

Estimate your annual wealth tax in the Canton of Glarus — combine cantonal allowances, the simple wealth tax and municipal Steuerfüsse (Glarus, Glarus Nord, Glarus Süd).

Glarus levies wealth tax on your taxable net wealth as at 31 December. Taxable net wealth is your worldwide assets (for residents) minus deductible debts and tax-free amounts (allowances). The canton applies a simple wealth tax which is then multiplied by the cantonal and municipal Steuerfüsse.

This calculator uses the 2025 Glarus allowances (approx. CHF 77,300 for single taxpayers and CHF 154,600 for jointly taxed spouses / qualifying single parents) and an indicative simple wealth tax rate of around 0.18 % on taxable wealth. It is designed for planning and comparison only and does not replace the official Glarus tax calculator.

Formula (simplified):
Net Wealth − Personal Allowance = Taxable Wealth
Simple Cantonal Wealth Tax ≈ Taxable Wealth × 0.18 %
Total Wealth Tax (cantonal + municipal, excl. church) ≈ Simple Tax × (1 + Municipal Steuerfuss)
Example: A municipal Steuerfuss of 0.60 means total wealth tax ≈ 1.60 × simple cantonal tax (church tax, if applicable, comes on top).

Interactive Calculator

Enter your net wealth (assets minus debts) and select your filing status and an indicative municipal Steuerfuss. The model focuses on typical Glarus wealth levels where combined effective rates are around 0.29–0.34 % at CHF 1–5 million of taxable wealth (excluding church tax).

Example Scenarios

Example A — Single, Net Wealth CHF 1,000,000, Municipal Steuerfuss 0.56 (Glarus)

Net wealth CHF 1,000,000.
Personal allowance (single) ≈ CHF 77,300 → taxable wealth ≈ CHF 922,700.
Simple cantonal wealth tax ≈ 0.18 % → ≈ CHF 1,661.
Municipal Steuerfuss 0.56 → total wealth tax ≈ 1.56 × CHF 1,661 ≈ CHF 2,590 (effective rate ≈ 0.26 % of net wealth, excluding church tax).

Example B — Married, Net Wealth CHF 3,000,000, Municipal Steuerfuss 0.63 (Glarus Süd)

Net wealth CHF 3,000,000.
Personal allowance (married / joint) ≈ CHF 154,600 → taxable wealth ≈ CHF 2,845,400.
Simple cantonal wealth tax ≈ 0.18 % → ≈ CHF 5,122.
Municipal Steuerfuss 0.63 → total wealth tax ≈ 1.63 × CHF 5,122 ≈ CHF 8,350 (effective rate ≈ 0.28 % of net wealth, excluding church tax).

Planning Use

  • Test different municipal Steuerfüsse (Glarus vs. Glarus Nord vs. Glarus Süd) to see how the location within Glarus affects the municipal share of your wealth tax.
  • Use this calculator together with Allowances & Deductions and Valuation Rules to refine your taxable net wealth (debts, exempt pension assets, household goods, etc.).
  • Feed the results into your broader Planning Strategies — residence choice, leverage and debt structuring, timing of inheritances and gifts, and coordination with cross-border tax obligations.
  • For more complex situations (business holdings, agricultural property, international assets), consider a tailored review via the Glarus Income Tax Service .
