The following chart outlines your before-tax earnings relative to the national average salary and minimum wage in Norway.
Please note that the national figures assume full-time employment for the entire year, while your salary is calculated based on the settings you selected.
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.
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.
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.
