Total tax paid
4 504 kr
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 2 514 kr to pay you 8 000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 5.63 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.9% tax rate now rises to 42.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 17.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
