To save me looking for this each time, I replicate the wealth tax table here based on tax amounts in 2023 (cantonal and municipal taxes) for married persons without children. The different cantonal tax allowances have been taken into account. (source: TaxWare)

Yeah, I am looking for this all the time as well.

So I assume this is tax payable on “taxable wealth”, which means value of assets (excl. 3a and pension) minus value of debt minus tax exempted amount (a few 100k usually). The rates differ by municipality so the cantonal capitals here have just been used as examples, right?

As an example:
House: 1 M
Cash etc: 0.5 M
Pension: 0.5 M
Debt: 0.5 M
Exempted: 0.3 M
Taxable wealth: 0.7 M

Yes it is taxable wealth. Although I think in the above figures, the different cantonal tax exempted amounts have already been taken into account. These are just to give rough indications anyway.
