Real tax rate
38.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.2% tax rate now rises to 38.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 172,000 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 57,158 kr. That means that your net pay will be 114,842 kr per year, or 9,570 kr per month.
