Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 13,922 kr to pay you 56,004 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 5.82 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.4% tax rate now rises to 46.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 56,004 kr a year living in the region of Viborg, Denmark, you will be taxed 18,699 kr. That means that your net pay will be 37,305 kr per year, or 3,109 kr per month.
