Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 59,040 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 5.60 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.4% tax rate now rises to 45.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 59,040 kr a year living in the region of Aarhus, Denmark, you will be taxed 19,158 kr. That means that your net pay will be 39,882 kr per year, or 3,323 kr per month.
