Your commune moves the bill more than you think

The canton levies its tax, then each commune adds its own rate on the same base. These bills come from the federal tax administration's 2025 calculator.

Income tax figures: federal tax administration calculator, tax year 2025, retrieved 2026-09-16. One earner aged 35, employment income, no wealth, no church tax, and the standard deductions the calculator applies.

Bills for Zug, Baar and Neuheim are the calculator's own. Every other commune is scaled from the capital's base tax by that commune's rate, which matched the calculator to within CHF 40 where we checked.

Where Zug is not the federal number

Your return is assessed twice, once for cantonal tax and once for federal tax. The same receipt can be worth more on one than on the other.

  • Insurance premiums, single

    ZugCHF 3’500
    FederalCHF 1’800

    Without a pension fund or pillar 3a: CHF 5’300

    Plus CHF 1’100 per child (federal CHF 700)

    Higher in Zug

  • Insurance premiums, couple

    ZugCHF 7’000
    FederalCHF 3’700

    With no pension fund or pillar 3a payment on either side: CHF 10’500

    Plus CHF 1’100 per child (federal CHF 700)

    Higher in Zug

  • Third-party childcare

    ZugCHF 25’400
    FederalCHF 25’800

    Per child under 14. Meals and board do not count.

    Zug's own-care deduction of CHF 12’200 per child under 15 does not stack with this: childcare replaces it only once your costs exceed that amount, so a family paying less deducts CHF 12’200.
