Average Salary in Norway

The Norwegian average salary is 56,360 kr per month before tax, according to the latest data from Statistics Norway (SSB), the official source for labor and wage statistics in the country. This translates to an annual gross income of 676,320 kr, for which our calculator estimates a monthly net salary of 41,938 kr.

Minimum Wage in Norway

Norway does not have a universal minimum wage set by the state. However, there are sector-specific minimum wages established through collective agreements and regulations. These agreements ensure that wages do not fall below a certain level, typically no less than 196.00 kr per hour.

Assuming a standard 37.5-hour work week, this translates to a minimum monthly gross salary of approximately 31,850 kr or 25,688 kr after tax.

How Is Salary Calculated and Paid in Norway?

In Norway, salaries are usually paid on a monthly basis, with deductions made for taxes and social security contributions. Employees receive a payslip that details their gross salary, the deductions made, and the net amount received.

Employers are responsible for withholding the necessary taxes and contributions from employees' salaries. These deductions are then paid to the relevant government authorities.

Taxes Included in This Salary Calculator

  • Municipal Tax (Kommuneskatt): This is a local tax levied by the municipality where you live, with rates varying slightly depending on the specific municipality.
  • County Tax (Fylkesskatt): Similar to the municipal tax, the county tax is a regional tax collected by the county where you reside.
  • Joint Tax (Fellesskatt): This is a national tax that applies uniformly across the country and contributes to the funding of state services.
  • Step Tax (Trinnskatt): A progressive tax applied to gross income exceeding certain thresholds. The rate increases as your income rises, ensuring that higher earners pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes.
  • Social Security Contributions (Trygdeavgift): Mandatory contributions that fund the Norwegian social security system, covering pensions, healthcare and unemployment benefits.
