🇳🇴 Norway
Norway taxes ordinary income at a flat 22% (municipal/county/state combined), plus a progressive trinnskatt (step tax) from 1.7% to 17.8% in 5 steps. The minstefradrag (standard deduction for salary) is 46% of income, capped at 95,700 NOK. The personfradrag (basic allowance) is 114,540 NOK. Neither is applied by this model. Employee trygdeavgift (social security) is 7.6% of gross income. This is a simplified combined model showing effective rates at each step.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
The municipal and county tax is integrated into the flat 22% general-income rate, applied uniformly nationwide, so it does not vary by municipality. The personfradrag (basic allowance) and the minstefradrag (standard deduction) are not yet applied, which would lower the tax, so the income tax shown can be overstated.
