Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 42,300 kr to pay you 299,997 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 3.26 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.5% tax rate now rises to 28.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 299,997 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 55,597 kr. That means that your net pay will be 244,400 kr per year, or 20,367 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 18.5% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. 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 34 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66 kr.
