Federal Election 2021 – Check Tax Policy with the Steuer-O-Mat

Which party offers me the greatest tax relief?

Just in time for the federal election, the Steuer-O-Mat web app — now in its third edition — uses three to four simple questions to help you find out which party's tax manifesto suits you best.

All you need to do is answer the following questions:

• "What is your gross annual income?"
• "Are you married?"
• "What is your spouse's gross annual income?"
• "How many children do you have?"

The Steuer-O-Mat then shows which party would mean a higher or lower tax burden for you. The difference between take-home pay as a proportion of gross income varies considerably between the individual party manifestos. The results are, of course, election promises in the first instance, so the Steuer-O-Mat should not be the sole factor in your voting decision.

The Wahl-O-Mat published by the Federal Agency for Civic Education has also been available again for the 2021 federal election since 2 September 2021.
