What this figure is, and is not
This is the tax due on a stated profile — a single person with no religious affiliation and no children, on a gross salary of CHF 130'000 — calculated from published federal, cantonal and communal rates. It is not your tax bill: your own figure depends on deductions, assets, marital status, denomination and children, none of which are assumed here.
Its purpose is comparison. The difference between two municipalities on the same profile is a reliable signal even where the absolute number is not, which is what Zügle uses it for. How the verdict is computed sets out the method and its limits in full.
Tax is only part of the question. A municipality with lower tax often has higher rent, a longer commute, or both — and whether moving pays off depends on all three together. Run the comparison against your own situation.
