Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 756,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 3.84 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.5% tax rate now rises to 37.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 756,000 kr a year living in the region of Odense, Denmark, you will be taxed 276,015 kr. That means that your net pay will be 479,985 kr per year, or 39,999 kr per month.
