So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.3% tax rate now rises to 40.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.90000000000001% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 936,000 kr a year living in the region of Faxe, Denmark, you will be taxed 368,202 kr. That means that your net pay will be 567,798 kr per year, or 47,316 kr per month.
