Taxes in Zurich

Could anyone help understand the real tax numbers in Zurich? The base salary range is 150-175k CHF. Some online tax calculators say the tax will be 13%, others - over 20%. Both seem legit :) Married, 1 child, wife's salary will be 0 for now.

The lower number is tax only, the higher number includes social security etc.

Is social security optional?

lol no, but a good chunk of it, like 80%, goes towards public pension, which, depending on your passport, you can either get back as soon as you leave the country for good or draw at statutory retirement age as pension

Depends on the canton. Around 20% seems about right.

What is the tax rate on vested RSUs? I heard that it’s less that in the US?
