Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1,160 kr to pay you 12,500 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.23 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33% tax rate now rises to 38.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 150,000 kr a year living in the region of Aabenraa, Denmark, you will be taxed 49,507 kr. That means that your net pay will be 100,494 kr per year, or 8,374 kr per month.
