Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 119,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.36 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 39.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 119,000 kr a year living in the region of Greve, Denmark, you will be taxed 37,951 kr. That means that your net pay will be 81,049 kr per year, or 6,754 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 31.9% and your marginal tax rate is 31.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
