Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 46,000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 6.35 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.3% tax rate now rises to 48.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 15.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 46,000 kr a year living in the region of Varde, Denmark, you will be taxed 15,303 kr. That means that your net pay will be 30,697 kr per year, or 2,558 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 33.3% and your marginal tax rate is 32.3%. 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 32.31 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 67.69 kr.
