Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 52,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 6.06 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
47.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.8% tax rate now rises to 47.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 14% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 52,000 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 17,571 kr. That means that your net pay will be 34,429 kr per year, or 2,869 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 33.8% and your marginal tax rate is 33.0%. 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 32.99 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 67.01 kr.
Bonus Example
