Tax system in Norway

Norway taxes ordinary income at a flat 22% (combined municipal/county/state), plus a progressive trinnskatt (step tax) from 1.7% to 17.6% in 5 steps. Employee trygdeavgift (social security) is 7.9% of gross income. The minstefradrag (standard salary deduction) is 46% of income, capped at 104,450 NOK. Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger are the main employment centres. Norway's oil wealth supports high salaries and generous public services, though the cost of living is among Europe's highest.
