How the Salary Calculator Works

Our calculator uses standard calculations based on Norwegian employment law and common practices.

For Employees

The calculator uses the following parameters:

  • Work hours per week: 37.5 hours (standard full-time in Norway)
  • Workdays per year: 260 days (52 weeks × 5 days)
  • Workweeks per year: 52 weeks
  • Work hours per year: 1950 hours (37.5 × 52 weeks)

Calculations are based on gross salary before overtime, other allowances, holiday pay, and taxes.

For Employers

Total cost for an employee is higher than the base salary due to:

  • Holiday Pay: Usually 12% of base salary (10.2% for employees over 60)
  • Employer Contribution: Varies between 0% and 14.1% depending on geographical zone

The employer contribution is calculated on the sum of salary and holiday pay. Standard rate: 14.1%, but varies:

  • Zone I (most of Norway): 14.1%
  • Zone Ia: 10.6%
  • Zone II: 10.6%
  • Zone III: 6.4%
  • Zone IV: 5.1%
  • Zone V (parts of Northern Norway): 0%

Example

An employee with an annual salary of £60,000 has the following total cost for the employer (Zone I):

  • Base Salary: £60,000
  • Holiday Pay (12%): £7,200
  • Total Salary Including Holiday Pay: £67,200
  • Employer Contribution (14.1%): £9,475.20
  • Total Annual Cost: £76,675.20

Other Costs

Note: the calculator does not include other potential costs such as:

  • Pension (mandatory occupational pension, minimum 2% of salary between 1G and 12G)
  • Insurance (occupational injury, life insurance, etc.)
  • Employer share of mandatory occupational pension
  • Other allowances and benefits
