Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 17,500 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 11.49 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
64.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.4% tax rate now rises to 64.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 28.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 17,500 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 6,189 kr. That means that your net pay will be 11,311 kr per year, or 943 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 35.4% and your marginal tax rate is 33.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
