Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 155,500 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.03 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.3% tax rate now rises to 37.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 155,500 kr a year living in the region of Herlev, Denmark, you will be taxed 48,706 kr. That means that your net pay will be 106,794 kr per year, or 8,900 kr per month.
