Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.3% tax rate now rises to 39.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 140,500 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 46,766 kr. That means that your net pay will be 93,734 kr per year, or 7,811 kr per month.
