Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,913 kr to pay you 13,568 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 2.61 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 22.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 162,816 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 19,553 kr. That means that your net pay will be 143,263 kr per year, or 11,939 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 12.0% 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.
