Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 139,590 kr to pay you 990,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.68 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.7% tax rate now rises to 41.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 990,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 323,523 kr. That means that your net pay will be 666,477 kr per year, or 55,540 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 32.7% and your marginal tax rate is 46.0%. 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 46.01 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.99 kr.
