Interesting that you state that the Swiss health care system is private. All people living in Switzerland must take out compulsory health insurance (and if you don't do it, the government will take one out for you, backdate it and send you the bill). These policies are payed for out of Net salary and prices vary dependent on age, location, excess and policy type so it is very difficult to calculate. It is also difficult to work out a 'standard' tax rate for Switzerland, again due to varying factors such as: marital status, number of children, where you live (this is calculated by canton and town, so even within the same canton it will vary)
