Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 19,388 kr to pay you 137,501 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 2.47 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.6% tax rate now rises to 21.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 137,501 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 14,521 kr. That means that your net pay will be 122,980 kr per year, or 10,248 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 10.6% and your marginal tax rate is 19.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
