So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19% tax rate now rises to 29.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 309,231 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 58,737 kr. That means that your net pay will be 250,494 kr per year, or 20,875 kr per month.
