Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 1,300,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.31 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42% tax rate now rises to 42.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,300,000 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 546,191 kr. That means that your net pay will be 753,809 kr per year, or 62,817 kr per month.
