Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 7,050 kr to pay you 50,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.92 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.1% tax rate now rises to 43.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,200,000 kr a year living in Norway, you will be taxed 420,805 kr. That means that your net pay will be 779,195 kr per year, or 64,933 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 35.1% and your marginal tax rate is 46.4%. 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 46.40 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.60 kr.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 536 kr of net incomes. A 5,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 2,680 kr of net incomes.
