Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 1,621 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 93.89 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
97.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 80.3% tax rate now rises to 97.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,500 kr a year living in the region of Hvidovre, Denmark, you will be taxed 1,303 kr. That means that your net pay will be 319 kr per year, or 26.56 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 80.3% and your marginal tax rate is 16.4%. 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 16.36 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 83.64 kr.
