Total tax paid
1 972 kr
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 1 257 kr to pay you 4 000 kr. In other words, every time you spend 10 kr of your hard-earned money, 4.93 kr goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.9% tax rate now rises to 37.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 19.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
