Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.6% tax rate now rises to 47.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,005,120 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 794,933 kr. That means that your net pay will be 1,210,187 kr per year, or 100,849 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 39.7% and your marginal tax rate is 46.5%. 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 46.49 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.51 kr.
