Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 70,980 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 5.13 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.7% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 70,980 kr a year living in the region of Herlev, Denmark, you will be taxed 22,494 kr. That means that your net pay will be 48,486 kr per year, or 4,041 kr per month.
