Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,410 kr to pay you 10,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 2.33 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.2% tax rate now rises to 20.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 120,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 11,041 kr. That means that your net pay will be 108,959 kr per year, or 9,080 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 9.2% and your marginal tax rate is 19.9%. 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 19.88 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 80.12 kr.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 801 kr of net incomes. A 5,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 4,006 kr of net incomes.
