Total tax paid
6 915 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, 5.76 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 43.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
