Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 125,490 kr to pay you 890,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.55 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.4% tax rate now rises to 39.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 890,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 279,341 kr. That means that your net pay will be 610,659 kr per year, or 50,888 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 31.4% and your marginal tax rate is 43.4%. 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 43.40 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 56.60 kr.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 566 kr of net incomes. A 5,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 2,830 kr of net incomes.
