Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 4,200,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.68 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.5% tax rate now rises to 46.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,200,000 kr a year living in the region of Egedal, Denmark, you will be taxed 1,951,508 kr. That means that your net pay will be 2,248,492 kr per year, or 187,374 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 46.5% and your marginal tax rate is 48.6%. 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 48.60 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 51.40 kr.
