Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 19,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 10.72 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.9% tax rate now rises to 61.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 28% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 19,000 kr a year living in the region of Greve, Denmark, you will be taxed 6,450 kr. That means that your net pay will be 12,550 kr per year, or 1,046 kr per month.
