According to data from the Federal Statistical Office regarding 2022, there are 7,666 taxpayers in Switzerland who reported annual incomes of at least one million Swiss francs (CHF), which equates to approximately 1.24 million US dollars. This figure highlights the concentration of wealth among the nation’s high-earning population. The analysis, reported by the Swiss newspaper Blick, details the distribution of these million-franc earners across different cantons.
The highest density of millionaires is observed in the cantons of Zug and Schwyz. Zug records 860 taxpayers with incomes exceeding one million francs, representing 1.1% of the canton’s total population. Similarly, Schwyz accounts for 774 such taxpayers, making up 0.77% of its residents.
In contrast, other cantons show lower percentages of the wealthiest earners. Ticino reports 280 taxpayers with incomes surpassing one million francs, while Graubünden has 132 such individuals. These statistics provide a granular view of where the nation’s top earners reside.
At the communal level, the data continues to show variation. The overall trend indicates that while a significant number of individuals in Switzerland achieve a millionaire status, the concentration of these high incomes is not uniform geographically. The data remains useful for understanding economic distribution across the country’s various regions.
