Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 217,137 kr to pay you 1,539,980 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 6.11 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 47% tax rate now rises to 53.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 36,959,520 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 17,362,817 kr. That means that your net pay will be 19,596,703 kr per year, or 1,633,059 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 47.0% and your marginal tax rate is 47.4%. 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 47.40 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 52.60 kr.
