Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 900,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.05 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39% tax rate now rises to 39.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 900,000 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 350,599 kr. That means that your net pay will be 549,401 kr per year, or 45,783 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 39.0% and your marginal tax rate is 48.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
