Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 121,224 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.34 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 38.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 121,224 kr a year living in the region of Greve, Denmark, you will be taxed 38,652 kr. That means that your net pay will be 82,572 kr per year, or 6,881 kr per month.
