Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 471 300 kr to pay you 1 500 000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 8.08 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
61.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 49.4% tax rate now rises to 61.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
