Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 120,996 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.36 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.1% tax rate now rises to 39.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 120,996 kr a year living in the region of Aarhus, Denmark, you will be taxed 38,781 kr. That means that your net pay will be 82,215 kr per year, or 6,851 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 32.1% and your marginal tax rate is 31.7%. 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 31.67 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.33 kr.
