Real tax rate
36.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.1% tax rate now rises to 36.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 250,000 kr a year living in the region of Stevns, Denmark, you will be taxed 82,670 kr. That means that your net pay will be 167,330 kr per year, or 13,944 kr per month.
