Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 145,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.14 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 145,000 kr a year living in the region of Greve, Denmark, you will be taxed 46,141 kr. That means that your net pay will be 98,859 kr per year, or 8,238 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 31.8% and your marginal tax rate is 31.5%. 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 31.50 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.50 kr.
