This tool allows you to calculate how much withholding tax is payable in which canton. Enter the canton of your choice and compare the tax payable there with the withholding tax payable on the same amount in Canton Schwyz, which has the lowest withholding tax rate in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Switzerland</place></country-region>. Depending on the canton and the lump-sum capital, the tax bill can vary significantly. 

Withholding tax is payable on 2^nd and 3^rd pillar benefits cashed in by pension-holders who are leaving Switzerland permanently to settle abroad.
