Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 24,675 kr to pay you 175,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 2.67 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.6% tax rate now rises to 23.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 175,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 22,006 kr. That means that your net pay will be 152,994 kr per year, or 12,750 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 12.6% and your marginal tax rate is 20.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 kr in your salary will be taxed 20.64 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 79.36 kr.
