Total tax paid
6 979 kr
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 3 770 kr to pay you 12 000 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
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.7% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
