Valais Wealth Tax Calculator
Valais Wealth Tax Calculator 2025
Estimate your annual wealth tax in the Canton of Valais — progressive 1–3‰ cantonal tariff combined with your commune’s wealth tax coefficient.
Valais (*Wallis*) levies wealth tax on your worldwide net wealth at 31 December (for residents). From gross assets you deduct enforceable debts and Valais wealth tax allowances — typically CHF 30,000 for single taxpayers and CHF 60,000 for married couples or single parents with dependent children, plus an additional allowance of around CHF 8,000 per child. Only the net wealth above this allowance is subject to wealth tax.
The canton applies a progressive wealth tax tariff between 1‰ and 3‰ on taxable net wealth. The same barème is then mirrored at communal level, where each municipality applies its own communal coefficient (typically between 1.0 and 1.5) to determine the municipal share of wealth tax. Effective total wealth tax for 2025 commonly falls in the range of ≈0.35–0.70 % of taxable net wealth, depending on the commune and wealth level.
Step 1 — Net wealth = Assets − Debts
Step 2 — Allowance = Base exemption (30k/60k) + Child allowance (≈8k per child)
Step 3 — Taxable wealth = max(0, Net wealth − Allowance)
Step 4 — Cantonal wealth tax (base) ≈ Taxable wealth × progressive 1–3‰ tariff
Step 5 — Total wealth tax ≈ Cantonal base × (1 + Communal coefficient)
Communal coefficients for Valais municipalities such as Verbier or Kippel typically lie between 1.0 and 1.5, leading to effective total rates around 0.35–0.72 % at CHF 50k–2 million of taxable net wealth in current examples.

Example Scenarios
Example A — Single, Net Wealth CHF 1,000,000, No Children, Communal Coefficient 1.20 (Verbier-type profile)
Net wealth CHF 1,000,000.
Base allowance (single) ≈ CHF 30,000 → taxable wealth ≈ CHF 970,000.
Cantonal wealth tax (base, progressive 1–3‰) ≈ CHF 2,100–2,300 (rounded).
Communal coefficient 1.20 → total factor (1 + 1.20) = 2.20 → total wealth tax ≈ CHF 4,600–5,100
(effective rate ≈ 0.46–0.51 % of net wealth, excluding church tax).
Example B — Married, 2 Children, Net Wealth CHF 3,000,000, Communal Coefficient 1.50 (higher-tax mountain commune)
Net wealth CHF 3,000,000.
Base allowance (married) ≈ CHF 60,000 + child allowance 2 × CHF 8,000 = CHF 16,000 → total allowance ≈ CHF 76,000.
Taxable wealth ≈ CHF 2,924,000.
Cantonal wealth tax (base, progressive) ≈ CHF 7,000–7,500.
Communal coefficient 1.50 → total factor (1 + 1.50) = 2.50 → total wealth tax ≈ CHF 17,500–18,750
(effective rate ≈ 0.58–0.63 % of net wealth, excluding church tax).
These scenarios are rounded and based on the simplified schedule above. For precise planning, input your own figures in the calculator and compare the result with the official Valais tax calculator or current Barème 3 tables for the relevant tax year.
Planning Use
- Use the communal coefficient slider to compare low- and higher-tax communes (e.g. Verbier vs. high-coefficient mountain communes) at the same net-asset level.
- Combine this calculator with the Allowances & Deductions and Valuation Rules pages to refine your taxable net wealth (mortgages, investment loans, pension assets, business valuations).
- Feed the output into broader Planning Strategies — choice of municipality, leverage and financing, structuring of property and business interests, and cross-border considerations.
- For complex cases (multiple properties, business holdings, cross-border assets), consider a tailored review via the Valais Income Tax Service .
