Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,128,001 kr to pay you 8,000,004 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 5.96 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.5% tax rate now rises to 52.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,000,004 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 3,636,007 kr. That means that your net pay will be 4,363,997 kr per year, or 363,666 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 45.5% and your marginal tax rate is 47.4%. 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 47.40 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 52.60 kr.
