Norway Income Tax Calculator
Norway uses a progressive income tax system with a top rate of 47.4%. Norway layers a flat 22% tax on "alminnelig inntekt" (after personfradrag), a 7.6% trygdeavgift, and a progressive trinnskatt — combined here into one approximate marginal schedule (22% base + each trinn rate). Real system has extra low-income nuances (minstefradrag phase-in) not captured.
