Basically everything you wrote is incorrect.

- It's not just the cantonal tax; you've ignored the federal and municipal taxes.

- The location of the office isn't what matters, but where you live.

- Healthcare definitely isn't free. Everyone is legally obligated to buy private health insurance.

Thanks for the summary, makes me wonder if I would live in Zug and work in Zurich.

If you like having a 40+ min commute instead of a few minutes of walking/biking for a few thousands of tax savings a year. Some people don't. Generally the richer you are the more you get to value your own time.
