Thanks to the wonderful help I already found in other threads where @Martin Everson posted the withholding calculate tool
https://incometax.ch/
I came to the result that from an income of 10K CHF / month I have only to pay roughly 350 CHF in taxes as a single without children and living in Zug! On top I have calculated a luxury health insurance costing me 600 CHF / month.

I removed the church member, I only believe in myself.

Are these figures real? no other taxes or anything to pay?
 
Only if⁤ you are male and young. It can be easily 1k and up for the private⁣ adds.
Nah, its way︀ more. Maybe 15% ish, so below 20k in tax for a salary of 120k per︁ year.

The main problem will be rent and general living costs, which are astronomical. 10k︂ alone is also not a such great salary there. Better if you can pocket 20k︃ and up.
 
@pesto use the one @Sols posted above.
But before using it, you should read the‌ guides on taxation from government to understand all the write off and taxes you may‍ not know. And the different levels of taxation (communal, cantonal, federal). They can vary a⁠ lot between Zug and Geneve for example. And single vs family.

this one is nice⁤ The Swiss Tax System (Publication)
there are shorter and easier ones, but sorry don't have⁣ the links now.
this is for kids Steuern Easy - Home - steuern-easy.ch

And then⁢ you should also grasp the social security system and the many insurances there if you're︀ not familiar with such a system.

Also for a dirty quick calculator you may use︁ CHF 100'000 income tax calculator 2023 - Zurich - salary after tax
but remember there︂ are some write-offs that these simple calculators don't factor.
Remember you calculate your taxes on︃ the net taxable income not gross...

some tax deductions here. If you also are a︄ sole trader or own a business you can write off A LOT compared to other︅ neighboring countries (cars, travel expenses...), as long it's reasonable...

Hello,

To get it right for my example:

Cantons in question:
Zug, Schwyz
Gross amount‌ 9950 CHF
Single
No Kiddy's
No church
Age 47
Net worth nothing
Home renting 3550‍ month

No obligations, loans or anything - all clean records nothing to pay there.

What would be the money I get out? I assume for some of you heavy boys⁠ it is easy to calculate?
 
Wealth tax are anyway relative⁤ minimal-ish, but a big pain to file and a clusterduck for privacy. However, as Swiss⁣ takes that serious so no privacy related threats arise from this in most cases (stark⁢ contrast to the global south).

10% will go to the socials in a wht style.︀

So left is about 8.5k.
Is this a job or self employed?

102k / y,︁ idk well the deductions, lets assume you can deduct 22k for whatever healthcare and work︂ expenses, car whatnot etc. Rent is no deduction, so it will be paid by sweet︃ after tax chf.

80k left to tax, which would be around 8k to pay or︄ so. https://steuern.zg.ch/private/calculator
The story goes on
45k-50k goes towards housing including related costs (water, electricity,︅ a lot towards heating bc is friggin cold there for almost the whole year).

Then party, dating, restaurants, drinks and groceries, which cost a lot too.
