What this calculator measures
The figure is what reaches your account after tax on ordinary income, the bracket tax (trinnskatt) and the national insurance contribution (trygdeavgift), on the annual gross you enter. The standard minimum deduction and personal allowance reduce ordinary income only; bracket tax and the national insurance contribution are charged on the gross wage. It assumes tax class 1, age between 17 and 69, and mainland Norway outside the Troms and Finnmark action zone.
What you receive now, and what accrues
The national insurance contribution funds the National Insurance Scheme, which pays the state pension, but it does not build a pot in your name, so it appears as a deduction. What accrues is occupational pension (OTP): enter your employer's contribution and any of your own, and they appear beside the figure, never inside it.
What this result assumes
- Single, tax class 1
- Resident in Norway for the whole year
- Mainland Norway, outside the Troms og Finnmark action zone
- Aged between 17 and 69
What this model does not cover (8)
- Pension contributions are modelled but NO CASE EXERCISES ONE, so coversPension is false. The calculator takes a salary and offers no field for an employee pension contribution, so nothing outside this repository checks how one moves the two bases.
- Troms og Finnmark (tiltakssonen): 18,5 pct. on alminnelig inntekt instead of 22, plus finnmarksfradrag. Not modelled. The calculator offers it as a checkbox and every case here was collected with it OFF, so the corpus says nothing about it either way.
- Arbeidsfradrag for unge, the under-22 work deduction the calculator carries as its own checkbox, and every other age-related rule. Trygdeavgift is charged at a lower rate under 17 and over 69. The engine has no date of birth; every case was collected at age 41 and the spec's assumption says so.
- Kildeskatt paa loenn, the 25 pct. flat withholding scheme for short-stay foreign workers, which is Norway's closest analogue to an impatriate regime. Not modelled, and the calculator offers it as a separate mode.
- The skattested is Oslo (0301) in every case. Norway's kommunal and fylkeskommunal rates are the maximum rates in every kommune, so this should not move the answer - but that is a claim no case here tests, because none was collected anywhere else.
- Wealth tax (formuesskatt), and every deduction beyond minstefradrag and personfradrag: rentefradrag, BSU, foreldrefradrag, pendlerfradrag, fagforeningskontingent. Salary only, no assets, no debts.
- Married or jointly assessed taxpayers, and skatteklasse 2. Every case is skatteklasse 1, read back from the answer.
- Employer contributions - arbeidsgiveravgift, which is 14,1 pct. in Oslo and varies by zone. They never touch net pay, and no country here models the employer side of social insurance.

The rules this page is built from, at the bodies that set them. Every figure in the breakdown above also opens its own source.
How this is worked out
Why are there two tax bases?
Because Norway charges different taxes on different incomes. Tax on ordinary income is charged after deductions; bracket tax and the national insurance contribution are charged on your gross wage, so deductions do not reduce them.
Does the kommune I live in change the result?
No. The rate on ordinary income includes the municipal and county share and is the same across mainland Norway. Troms and Finnmark's action zone has a lower rate and is not modelled.
What about holiday pay?
Norwegian employees earn feriepenger in one year and receive them the next, usually instead of a month's salary. Enter the annual gross from your offer.
Is the monthly figure a payslip prediction?
It is one twelfth of the annual net amount. Actual monthly payroll can vary with holiday allowance, bonuses and withholding rounding.
Does the city change the tax?
It depends on the country. Where a region, canton or municipality sets part of the income tax, the place you choose changes the result, and the picker offers those places for that reason. Where income tax is set nationally, the city makes no difference to the payroll figure.
Can I use this for self-employment or part-year residence?
Those cases are not modelled. The answer assumes an employee resident for the whole year, and each country's page lists the rest of what it assumes.
