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

- Pension (mandatory occupational pension, minimum 2% of salary between 1G and 12G)
