Real tax rate
38.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.8% tax rate now rises to 38.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 155,000 kr a year living in the region of Lejre, Denmark, you will be taxed 50,908 kr. That means that your net pay will be 104,092 kr per year, or 8,674 kr per month.
