Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 160,000 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
37.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 37.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 160,000 kr a year living in the region of Greve, Denmark, you will be taxed 50,866 kr. That means that your net pay will be 109,134 kr per year, or 9,094 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 685 kr of net incomes. A 5,000 kr bonus will generate an extra 3,425 kr of net incomes.
