Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,293 kr to pay you 73,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 1.70 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.9% tax rate now rises to 14.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 73,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 2,088 kr. That means that your net pay will be 70,912 kr per year, or 5,909 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 2.9% and your marginal tax rate is 25.0%. 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 25 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 75 kr.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 750 kr of net incomes. A 5,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 3,750 kr of net incomes.
