CSS Toggle Switch(Checkbox) value always on/checked

I just styled the checkbox as toggle switch in CSS, It works fine. However, the value of input seems to not change on onchange event and shows always on.

JS code:

/* The switch - the box around the slider */
.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 60px;
  height: 34px;
}

/* Hide default HTML checkbox */
.switch input {
  opacity: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
}

/* The slider */
.slider {
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #ccc;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

.slider:before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  height: 26px;
  width: 26px;
  left: 4px;
  bottom: 4px;
  background-color: white;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

input:checked + .slider {
  background-color: #2196F3;
}

input:focus + .slider {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}

input:checked + .slider:before {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(26px);
  -ms-transform: translateX(26px);
  transform: translateX(26px);
}

/* Rounded sliders */
.slider.round {
  border-radius: 34px;
}

.slider.round:before {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

    <center>
      <label class="switch">
        <input type="checkbox" onchange="console.log(this.value);">
        <span class="slider round"></span>
      </label>
    </center>
  </body>
</html>

It's visual behaviour is perfect, but not internal. What is the reason that caused the issue? any idea?

Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/mg7sLa21/

Use the checked property to determine the checkbox state, then assign a value based on that state.

JS

document.getElementById('checkbox1').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  this.checkboxValue = e.target.checked ? 'on' : 'off';
  console.log(this.checkboxValue)
})

HTML

<html>

  <head>
  </head>

  <body>
    <center>
      <label class="switch">
        <input id="checkbox1" type="checkbox">
        <span class="slider round"></span>
      </label>
    </center>
  </body>

</html>
