What is the income tax rate in Liechtenstein?
Liechtenstein uses a progressive income tax system with 8 brackets ranging from 1% to 8% on taxable income. When combined with the communal tax surcharge of 165% (as applied in Schaan), the effective combined rates range from approximately 2.65% to 18.55%, depending on your income level.
How much do I pay in social security contributions in Liechtenstein?
As an employee, you contribute 4.70% for old-age, disability, and dependent pension insurance, plus 0.5% for unemployment insurance, for a total of 5.2% on gross income up to CHF 126,000. Both contributions are deductible from your taxable income, which helps reduce your overall tax burden.
What deductions and exemptions are available in Liechtenstein?
You receive a personal exemption of CHF 15,855 before income tax brackets apply, plus an employment deduction of CHF 1,600. These standard allowances are built into the tax calculation for employment income and reduce your taxable base.

Yes, this calculator uses Schaan as the default subnational region for the communal tax surcharge. Tax rates vary by municipality in Liechtenstein, with communal surcharges typically ranging from 150% to 180% of national tax, so your actual rate may differ if you live or work in a different region.
