Norwegian income tax is not the highest in the world - We are on average in Europe. The highest taxes are found in Sweden and Denmark at 40-55%. Incometax in Norway is reduced with 6% last 7 years. But there is great social security in the tax - as from 2-5.9% of tax is for old-age pension - with a goal of 66% pension of salary. The income tax also covers health services that are free after $ 250 per. years - free for children and the elderly. Free school - incl. University (not books, which are covered by scholarship from the State) The income tax is calculated after expenses for work and after deduction of all types of interest on loans for housing, cars, credit cards. Taxfree up to NOK 60 000 - NOK 100000 = 9% tax, NOK 300000 is 19.9% - 1 000000 is 33.3%
Ohh Glenn... I wish the rest of the world was same as Norway in terms of payment and taxation 🙂 Norway is setting a very strong example for all of us indeed.
Scandinavia, yes, I agree with you here, the tax is high.
However, the rest of Europe the tax is slightly lower (18 - 20%) but if you look at the average salary - feel free to check Italy and the UK, I used to live there - so the average salary might be 50% lower than average salary in Norway.
I personally would pay higher tax on higher salary, especially when I can clearly see where my paid tax is going 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment! Always deep, always professional, always reasonable. Thank you. I’m learning a lot from you
Also we pay taxes and fees on everything we buy. Alcohol and tobacco are taxed the highest. I have no idea how much taxes and fees we pay in total but that is far, far more than just the income tax. Let's say 50%? The rest is for our private consume (I know +taxes and fees but let's keep them in the total of 50% as we don't add taxes and fees on top of taxes and fees). Sometimes I wonder about i.e. America. They might fall into a fals assumption. Like in Norway we know that one day we need to go to the dentist. Many Norwegians has three monthly salaries in the back hand for unforseen expenses and future projects like maintain the house. We pay taxes and save money. In a high cost country like Norway there are not much money to waste. We simply can't have enough money which mean we can't spill much money. We may save for our children and grandchildren. Just anything that lays in the future + vacation, for the cabin, a boat etc etc In American it seem they live from hand to mouth. They don't have money in the back hand. US taxes are lower but do they ignore future unseen expenses and future projects? It's like they shop till they drop. It's cheap to shop and their savings is spent on shopping. To save money and rule your own economy takes dicipline. In my opinion I am blessed. I buy service and pull the credit card. I love to pull my credit card for services bcoz it is a blessing to receive a service and pay. What do I do the day I can't pull my credit card and don't receive service? Pulling the credit card is a blessing. I know the taxes and fees are prepaid (in the total of 50%. Let's pretend so. We all has private consumption (50%) i.e services + savings).
@@exentr what a great comment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bravo!!! I totally agree with you!
And you know what’s funny Norway helped me a lot to manage my own crazy overspending 😉 I realise that clothes should be comfortable and that’s it! All these fancy stuff put on endless credit cards.. it’s quite silly really 🙂
People don’t need a lot of stuff they have but they keep buying more stuff ..
That’s why I love Norwegian culture! You can feel how wise Norwegians are when it comes to spending. Yes, everything high quality. But really necessary things 🙂
I’m so glad I was lucky enough to spend a year in a country like Norway. My life will never be the same again 😁 thank you guys 🤗 you made me better indeed 🙌🏻
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Thank you! I hope you understand that it was no critics on your spendings. Personal financials is individual. I still believe earning and saving to some degree before spending is smart. When I earn and save money, I can spend to some degree with clear conscience. In addition saving money is fun.
Good luck in the future wherever your next destination may be! It has been a pleasure to follow your time in Norway!
@@exentr aww no, not at all ☺️ I completely understand! I just really like how people in Norway take care of their finances 🙂
My colleagues taught me a lot 😁
Absolutely! Balance in the key in every aspect in our life 😉 yes, sometimes it’s good to save and sometimes it’s great to enjoy life! At the end of the day we live once and we all deserve some nice things if they make us happy.
Thank you so much indeed 🙌🏻 same time you! Stay safe, be happy and enjoy you life ☺️🤗🤗

hello, good day, I want to work in a fish factory in norway, you can help me, I would appreciate it, thanks
My husband and I have a near future goal of moving permanently to Norway. I can not wait!
🤩🤩 this is so cool! I wish you all the best with it 🤗
When are you planning to move? Where in Norway? 🙂
Within the next couple of years hopefully. We’re just waiting on selling our business then we’re off!
Norway is a great place to live in. If you have a Norwegian salary, prices is not even high. Price wars all the time in Norway.
I think this channel is awsome. People should watch it. Anna gives very detailed and useful information about Norway. And luckily most people in this world like Norway and want to live there.
Aww thank you so very much Sejarah! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🤗
Would you consider to move to Norway yourself? Or you already changed the countries? 😉
Great Video!! I really admire the respect and the love that the government of Norway shows to their people. They are clearly interested in the quality of life for their people by providing a decent average salary and the access to many public Services. I would like to live in Norwayy!
Absolutely! I totally agree with you, Stelios. In Norway you do feel like the government will protect you in any case. Norway is the country where you are sure not just about tomorrow but also can plan your life for 5-10 years ahead 😁
Amazing country! Norway is a very strong example for the rest of the world 🙂
Amazing video and useful informations! Good job Anna.
Greetings from Brazil :)
Aww thank you so much João Carlos 🤗🤗🤗 Brazil 😌😌😌 WoW! Love it! Maybe one day I’ll vlog from your amazing company! Definitely on my travel list 😉
Warm hugs from snowing in April Norway 🤗🤗🤗
Very inspiring, Anna! Suggestion for a next video: Perhaps you can talk about the best way(s) to find a job in Norway? How would you suggest someone on the other side of the world go about the whole process? Is it better to apply to companies in Norway directly, or should you work via a personnel agency or website? Do you need a specific visa?
Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks for all the info! I'm planning to move to Norway as soon as possible and just taking in all the information I can. :D
Same here
Thank you so much for many information about Norway🇳🇴🙏
Aww my greatest pleasure ☺️🤗 I’m so happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Most Norwegian dont by lunch. We have our homemade lunch. The "matpakke".
Can I ask why ? Is it a money thing or tradition ? X
@@claranora2617 tradition and how the society is organized. most norwegians have a 30 minutes lunch break. working hours can be quite intensive. pre-school closes at 16:00-17:00. parents want to finish as much as possible of their work and what they have to finish before the next day, before they pick up their children, rather than having to do it after the children have gone to bed. some continental europe countries have a 2 hours long lunch break, but end their days later
That's not a lunch ,that's a sandwich lol
Matpakke is a tradition which is also good for kids to learn to be a little independent, preparing their own food is a good thing.
Can someone tell me how can I relocate in Norwey?
Thank you so much for information ❤
wonderful video. Quite explanatory. Kudos
Thank you very much indeed 🤗
Thanks, great video.
Anna you are so special keep coming with your interesting videos
Aww thank you so much, Samuel 🤗🤗🤗 I’m so happy you enjoy them ☺️

This was actually fairly accurate, seems like you must have a nice office job in Norway:)
i like!😂 love your videos👍❤️
Love your enthousiasm , i am a Canadian that would love to live in Norway.
Thank you very much ☺️🤗 I bet you’ll like it 😉
Tusen takk for videoen.
My greatest pleasure 🤗
As an American, I work from 6 to 4:30 (4 days a week is the scheduled work week, but many of my coworkers and I have had to 6-8 hours of overtime on Friday many, many times). Having afternoons free like that is pretty amazing, but I am pretty tired after the 10 hour work day.
You’re the best. Love you 😍
Aww thank you so much 🤗🤗
TQ so much for nice information
You are very welcome 🤗🤗
great work ethic where i live work begins at 7am to 8 pm sometime to 10 pm im seriously planning on moving to norway.
As a person who moved to Norway a month ago, i rly appreciate this channel !
Thank you very much indeed 🤗 I’m happy to help.
Welcome to Norway 🤗🤗🤗
Welcome to Norway.
Velkommen.
Jobb hardt og betal skatt.;D
I'm from Hungary and the tax in here is 27%. The highest in the world! While the average salary is approx 330.000 HUF per month. This is equivalent to 8300 NOK and 825 EUR.
In Poland I work in a Germany company, (I am from NZ btw) and I start at 6 and finish at 14. I would say my active work is probably only about 4 hours per day. :) Let's talk about the amazing Polish work life balance!!
I work as a resident doctor in Bermany (non German here) and almost never manage to leave work on time. But it's the same for my collegues, so I wouldn't say I'm bad at managing time. And on the rare occasion that you do finish your work relatively on time, you feel guilty for not needing to stay longer, especially when your collegues do have more to do. I also go in on weekends to get work done, since there's no time for it on week days. I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one though, it has to be problem with the system.
Great vlog as always! You forgot to mention fridays «wine lottery». At some workplaces they may have both cake and wine lottery. Someone at office has bought 3-3 bottles of wine, sells tickets in a raffle. Then I hear you say: Only in Norway. Lol!
Thank you for making this video, I’m considering being an expat in Norway. I wonder how difficult it would be to find a job in aviation as a maintenance tech, I’m sure the FAA and Norwegian aviation requirements are quite different.
Nice one
Not every place have cake list. We bring in cake If we have leftover after a party. Or we like to make. And cant remember paying less then 33% tax …
Haha, you really make us Norwegians look good🤗
Because you are good 😉 one of the best nations I even came across 🙂
Thank you so much for being this good ❤️
Have a great day ahead 🤗
Great video! Feeling excited about the cakes! BTW I wonder what Norwegians think about us pilots who spend 90% time on "pick up the call and run to fly" Schedules 😂
Pilots??? 🤩 you guys are respected all over the world 😉
By the way, your salary in Norway is muuuuuuuch higher than average I mentioned 😈 i should’ve been a pilot 😉😁
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Good to know 😉
My grandparents on my mothers side were born and raised in Norway. Does having that heritage help get a visa to live in Norway?
Hi Anna, I was just wondering when somebody moves to Norway with a specific skill and also knows Norwegian, does this mean it is easy to get a job or could that person end up unemployed? Thanks
Norway is my dream country ... I love winter sports .. I love biathlon N#1 .. i hope when i end my current bad life in the prison state that is currently Australia ,, that i will end up in a faith based afterlife that is Norway so good there .
Come on over mate!
I have to say you're telling exactly what I want to say, hope to end the life in my prison country as quick as possible.
Dress code in Norway more or less became irrelevant in Norway 20 years ago. Billionaires in Norway i worked for used Jeans etc. All the time. At worst they used a dress jacket, but still Jeans. lol
I loved your presentation. It is so inspiring. Currently i'm working in working in a Norwegian Gold Mining Company in Ethiopia. I'd love to live and work in Norway. How can I do this?
What if ,I don't know how to cook a cake 🎂 for the office colleague?
I love your accent! :-)
Do you have to be able to speak Norwegian to get a job and is their much age discrimination against older people like there is in Sweden?
Kieran
your numbers for the final bit are incorrect. Average yearly income in 2020 was just over 67 000 usd, and income tax would be just under 30 000 at this salary rate. Then there's also one of the world's highest value added sales tax rates at 25%. But of course there's a reason for that with free universities and solid social security etc.
But rather than average yearly income it is also noteable that income inequality is not as large as in many other countries. Starting wages at McDonalds are about $18 with 22% income tax for an 18 year old for instance, plus extra outside office hours.
I am Mahamad from Malaysia. I will travel to Norway next year.
What I wanna know is how do you get a job in Norway?
Me too.. i want to know this @anna. Or how what do you do?
Love uAnna😘❤❤
Hi, hope you doing great
I read somewhere that foreign people that come to Norway, the government or something as a "plan" to learn the language
New people don't work 8h a day, they work 5 ou 6h, then get some classes on norwegian language.
Do you know something about it?
Thanks in advance, cheers from Portugal!
Great one! Thank you Miguel 🙂
To be honest with you, I don’t know. I’ve never heard about anything like this.
I’m an expat - so I don’t need to study Norwegian.
A friend of mine got a job recently in Norway- he’s working full hours and learning the language is not mandatory, it’s his own choice.
So every case is different 🙂
I have not heard of something like this in Norway. I have a friend who's wife when she came to Norway, started taking Norwegian classes through our social welfare system. While she was doing that, she got a part time job. But the Norwegian classes were in no way related to her part-time job.
One of my cousins married a japanese woman, they met while they both were studying in the UK. She moved to Norway and got a job, but she is taking Norwegian classes privately outside of work hours.
All I can say is, if you are serious about moving to Norway, I would start as early as possible with learning the language. While it might not be a requirement in a future job, since it depends on the size of company/location, for all other matters in society it would be a positive thing. While most Norwegians can understand and speak English, doesn't mean they are comfortable doing it. Which will lead to either being avoided or ignored. The main reason for learning Norwegian is that its a positive thing when searching for a job. It shows that you truly are trying to become a part of our Norwegian society. :-)
Hi there ☺️
I’m an expat, I’m in Norway temporarily, so I don’t really need to learn Norwegian 🙂
But if you are planning to move to Norway and settle their life - you should definitely study the local language.
Yes, I’ve heard there are plenty of options: starting from online classes to actual classes - you can choose how many per week you’d like to take.
Choose the city, contact local authorities, they will guide you further 😉
All the best 🤗
Hey. Norwegian here. :) I think refugees gets about 300 hours of free Norwegian training when their asylum as been approved. But as a forigner working in Norway I don't think there is any mandatory courses you have to take. But i do recommend learning the language. Almost all Norwegians speak and write english, but if you are the only one in the room that doesn't speak norwegian, people tend to sticking to their first language. ;)
@@torgeirbull thank you very much Torgeir 🤗🤗 great one indeed!
I think the moon in Norway is so round!
Is there any details for dentists condition in Norway and their salary??
Hi Arian! For the dentist - lucky you! 😄 as in every European country, dentists are the wealthiest part of the society 😉
I hope day my son (when I have him) will become a dentist 😁 thats how good they are paid.
So make sure you know at least basic Norwegian to start with. But if you are a really good dentist, the language will never be a problem.
All the best and let me know when you relocate to Norway. Ill be your first customer 😄
Agreed. Dentistry isn't covered by the norwegian welfare after you're 18 years old (and braces are expensive for children/teens nevertheless). It's _expensive_. So much so that i probably should have gone to the dentist years ago... :P
Please, make a video about marrying a Norwegian rules and traditions
Well.. I’m not really familiar with this subject 😁 I’m more business / career type of person 😉
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel if you are more business oriented then how about so called marriage of convenience kinda deal? I hope you know what I’m talking about
@@andre8860 😁 great one!
But I prefer love and respect as the foundation of the family 😉 priceless and well outside business contracts
Hello Anna, really appreciate your video. I have a personal inquiry. I am a Portuguese citizen with 5 years of Technical customer service advisor (over the phone in english) experience. What is my possibility to get a decent job in Oslo.
looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks in advance.
Well.. if you are planning to relocate to Norway and settle there - start learning Norwegian 😉
Also start looking for a job well before you are coming, it might take several month as far as I know.
But you know, where a will there is a way 😉 I’m sure you’ll be absolutely fine 🤗
What is actually very interesting about Norwegian taxes and fees is that the average gets back 84% of what has been paid in the entire life cycle. The state aims to earn NOK 4.2 million per. inhabitant through life. In the US, residents only get back 19.9% - the rest goes to administration? I do not know.
This is very interesting! I’m not sure about it either. I’m a British citizen and being an expat and avoiding double taxation, I’m paying my income tax to Her Majesty Revenue & Customs 🙂
But yes, I agree, this would be very interesting to know.
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel You probably know that what you pay in tax to the UK will be deducted in Norway - but there is a first year 25% limit. You know that you can change your tax in Norway by going to www.skatteetaten.no and making a correction - so that you do not pay too much tax.
@@lpdude2005 thank you Glenn, yes, my company will sort this out for sure. Also my project here is almost over 🙂 so probably after September this year it will be a different country to explore.
But I will be visiting Norway for sure as I already feel I’ll be missing this country so much. Definitely the best expat assignment I ever had
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel please I need a job in Norway, please what's the way forward
@@anitaatampugre5715 what exact job are you looking for?
Hello dear.. Can you kindly advise me on how to apply for jobs and to come to norway
Yes ..from 8 to 4 they work but it does not mean they are efficient.
Здравствуйте я очень хочу поехать Норвегии Подскажите мне что мне зделать чтобы поехать
🥂☺️ 😂 Your videos are great, utrolig koselig 😂
I was under the impression that incime taxes were higher than 22%?
Is it easier to find a job first and then move or the other way around?
Hi Josh 🤗
It’s always better to come to the country with a job offer.
Start applying 8-6 months in advance. Use LinkedIn to get in touch directly with decision makers 😉
Hope this helps 🙂
That is only office work, how does it work if you are a craftsman?
Is content creator considered to be a craftsman? 🙄 then you’ll work 24/7 in every country 😉🤗🤗
Dar ma'am can I apply Construction Mason 15 years experience
very educative and fun Anna. maybe you might be of assistance i want to work in Norway i have a BSN in nursing. hope to here from you soon or anyone here from Norway to assist as well thank you
Thank you very much 🤗 I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🙂❤️
most people work 8 hours.. but the hardest workers have 3, 13 hours and 2, 15 hour work days during a week
I also pay 43% taxes in norway.. don't think I have ever payed less then 34%
Been studying Norwegian for 8 months now, hoping that I can work in Norway someday. I'm a graduate of BS Architecture and still didn't have my license though so not sure what job can I apply for in Norway. Hahaha!
8 months? That sounds amazing! Of course you can start applying for jobs in Norway 🙂 you should have at very least basic Norwegian by now 😉
The cake thing is similair in sweden and I hate it. I hate eatting sweets and hate baking them, and this thing is so exhausting. Bcz are seen as weird if you don’t or participate in the baking 😞
I know what you mean 😁 I used to order it at the bakery soon 🙄 and people were laughing at me that I can’t make such a thing myself 🙂
Made me laugh out loud hearing that Friday’s are “cake day”
😱 not in your office? Think about changing job 😉😁
"If you stay late you are seen as bad parent" - agree and I'll definitely keep that in my back pocket. So in USA, apparently lots of bad parents...
Good evening dear,
I am a dentist,my wife also,we need to work as a dentist in Norway ,if you have any informations about how to get employed in Norway ,Like language levels (b2 or c1) or any other informations.
You need B2 language level.
Hmm. Woud like to add that most people in norway start work at 7 am and are finished at 3 pm
Brian! Don’t scare people from the rest of the world 😁 yes, usually Norwegians start working around 7:00 - 7:30.
Fishing! That’s another super cool activity I must try in Norway 🙌🏻
When is fishing season usually starts?
It depends on what kind of fish you want. But in general you can do it all yeare even in vintertime. COLD yes. But the chance to get bigg codd's are much higher. From 5 kg and upp to 15 kg. In summertime from about july there are usualy alot of mackrel.
@@briantvedt wow! 15kg is way too much 😁 it will take me a year to finish it after ☺️
3-5kg would perfect to try! I never fished Cod before so it will be a brand new experience for me.
I’ll definitely give it a try closer to July! Thank you so much indeed for such a great idea 🙌🏻
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Dont know where you live here in Norway. But i guess Oslo or in that area. Im from west norway near Bergen. I dont know what kind of fish you get there in the oslo fjord. here i can get.. and now il write in norwegein :P. Torsk, Pale, Lange, Hyse, Uer, Lyr, makrell, Berggylte, Brosme og en del fler
@@briantvedt aww I’ve been to Bergen for Easter! Amazing city! Absolutely loved the hikes, especially Ulriken ☺️ and I was lucky enough to have 4 sunny days in a row 😉
I’ll definitely research the subject and find out some interesting places for fishing .. and also far rafting! As it’s another activity I must try this summer
Your giving me a crush.
u will make me move in norway if u make video like this one, btw how old are u ? i'm asking because u are beautiful.

22% tax is not that bad same as the netherlands a bid 🤣 but will the company not take the tax amount from your salary or you need to do it youre self?😇

Do you use Norwegian language or English at your work??🙂
No, i speak English ☺️ for being an expat in Norway it’s more than enough.
But if you are planning to settle in Norway, it’s always better to speak the language of the country 🤗

I’m Norwegian but i live in Iran in 5 months i’m coming back after 21 years I scared, don’t know how to speak norsk I don’t know even that I could find a job or not I’m scared a lot i hope my country accept me after 21 years and take it easy on me🥺
I am planning to come to Norway and settle in the future. But due to COVID-19 I have to postpone it. Btw, jeg er fra Malaysia og jeg elsker Norge. Sa du er Norsk ? Kan du snakke lit Norsk ? I am still learning your language. For me, it's beautiful.
Tax in the Netherlands give the same feeling
You share with the poor
Well.. I know how it feels 😉 I’m on 40% bracket myself
here's my plan, make it big with youtube/streaming, then move to norway so i can live in a sky resort
Nice plan 😉 why not?
Got some similar ideas though! Good luck 😁
@@infinitycyber9813 i wish you the best success my dude! work hard and youll make it
22 percent taxes ist much … me as a german laughs quietly 😂 taxes are around 50 percent usually 😅
She said income tax....yeah....but did not mention all the other taxes in Norway....both direct taxes and indirect taxes. When adding them all up they will be well beyond what Germans pay. Norway is a paradise for taxes. If they can't increase a tax they invent a new one. Sales tax is 25% while 19% Germany. Every year you must pay a tax on the estimated marked value of your belongings .... for example: the value of your car, boat, house, money in bank and assets in stocks ...everything...even if you have been paying tax on the same "hundred times" before. Then comes the local administration and tax your house/property again.... All alcohol and tobacco have sky high tax above what you have in Germany. Therefor Norwegian travel to Sweden for shopping for less money. For the same reason does the Swedish travel to Denmark for shopping ....and the Danish travel to Germany..... Fuel for cars has higher taxation than in Germany. ....and the cars are taxed so much that you do not need to look far up on the list of premium car before they are the double price of what you pay in Germany. Just a little Golf would probably be 50% more expensive. The distances in Norway requires you to have a car since you often have few or no alternative transport possibilities. Oh...I nearly forgot to say that there are toll roads in all directions.... There is no problem for you get rid of your money.... The electric cars has until now been exempted from the car tax,, but that will change soon....
It would be nice to know what you are working with. The house you are renting is not cheep, i can see that. So you must make a lot of money :-)
It’s even worse, it’s paid by the company 😈 typical expat 😁
Absolutely! I’m actually starting professional channel soon. Seems like many people would like to be expats and change the countries as a part of their jobs 🙂
I’m in Sales and Business Development, far not rocket science 😁 but I’ll be really happy to share my experience for people who would like to follow a similar career path 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Maybe make a video on who you are? :) Where you grow up, your education, where you have worked in your life etc =D
@@Solumsen89 actually I put some personal information into description to my channel 🙂 honestly, I’m flattered ☺️ as at this stage I would like to share some useful content with people rather than talking about myself 🙂 but I’m sure eventually I’ll come to that point when I will share my story how I ended up in international markets development 😉
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Ok :) What about vlogging? Just show us what you do in 24 hours :D
@@Solumsen89 interesting idea! It can be a very cool one actually 😉 thank you so much! Ill have a thought about it 🙂
✨✨✨ Bravo! Beautiful! Homages! ✨✨✨ JAR
Thank you so much 🤩🤗🤗🤗
Someone who is uneducated can he/she service in Norway
If you have work permit - of course you can 🙂
this is what most people don't get... if the taxes are comming back to you in case of social systems and so on you are happy to pay them as they one day aid you as well... or if you are lucky you'll never need them beside roads and so on... paying taxes is only sad if this money gets wasted for no logical reason like oversizes military, embezzlements and so on...
I totally agree with you! That’s a clear case of Norway. You can clearly see where your taxes are going 😉
tax would be 34% in usual.
In usual ? Are you sure your salary is average and not higher than average 😉
For example in England average income tax is 20% but lots of people I know paying 40% as their income gets into higher brackets 🙂
What an amazing woman, aiaiai ! Damnit ;-)
Of cause we pay our taxes voluntary because that give us free helthcare, free education, nearly free medicines and many, many welfare benefits🇧🇻
Absolutely! And this how the rest of the world should work like 🙂 I personally find Norwegian system: payment / taxation - the best in the world:
1. Fair pay
2. Fair tax - you can clearly see where it’s going
3. Fair working hours - lots of fee time to spend any way you like 🙂
Thank you so much for such a strong example for the rest of us 🙌🏻
You are very lucky that you are living in such a beautiful country like Norway. Despite the high rate of taxes you have access to many public services. The government does not take on advantage the people of Norway. I am from Greece 🇬🇷 and i am very disappointed from my country on almost everything.
@@steliossopasis9395 I’m here only temporary ☺️ I might be leaving for another assessment quite soon. But yes, Norway changed my life a lot during this year. I learned so much for this country and it’s society.
Greece is amazing! I love it ☺️ great food, fantastic seaside, lots of history 😌 ill be visiting you guys for business very soon. Greece is also my market 😁 and I can’t wait to visit it again
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Greece is beautiful especially in summer time!! I wish you to have great time when you come to Greece.🙏🙏

As retired I pay only 15% taxes.
Norwegian taxes are not 22% they are way more then that ...
The average salary is not 720 000kr, not even close
“Expert in Norway” is a bit of a stretch though
Hi Anna, Can you please make a video about 'how to find an accounting and finance jobs in Norway'. I'm from India and I like to work in Norway. Can you please help me Anna.
With current Government it is not what it used to be. They do not do good job at all.
mam i want work in narwy
22% tax is the company tax, personal income tax is up to 49%, like for 150'usd with no loan deductions.
Personal income tax in Norway in average is 22%
www.skatteetaten.no/en/person/foreign/are-you-intending-to-work-in-norway/the-tax-return/what-are-you-liable-to-pay-tax-on-in-norway/
But if you earn higher salary your tax will be higher as well.
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel, correct 22%, but also click below in your link, mandatory Bracket tax 13,2% (75'-120' USD) + Insurance contributions 8% for pensions (that you get back), 0,2% for health care/ hospitals + 0,6% wealth tax on property/ commodities/ bank deposits = 44%. But since 4-5 weeks summer holiday and xmas is sacred, no tax is withheld in that 1.5 month period but drawn on the other 10,5, such that your tax card will show 44*12/10,5 = 50%!
In addition your employer will pay 14.3% of your pay (compared to ~40% in Sweden, on lower pay?)+ min 2% up to 8% in pension savings for you, if they are nice, such that a min 10% of your yearly pay is set aside as pension, 100% back if you work for 40 years, guaranteed min ~67% of your pay (less for high pay).
You have in practice pre-paid services for 12month pregnancy leave (80% pay), 2 year childcare, partly kindergarden, pre-school, school, high school, university, unemployment, medicare, disability, pension, burial - nice if you need all that.
But it is pointless to say I want to live there because I need all that - there are no available low-skilled jobs! And no banks to rob! The Nordics are cashless computerized societies, you will never see a service counter or an attendant, stores have only 1-2 employees. You will have to have a documented craft skill like welder, plumber etc or an MSc. BSc is difficult, except in nursing.
@@SURFpal yes, this is so true . There’s no difference which job you do in Norway - every job is respected and treated equally and every job is equally important 🙂 it’s another great thing about living in Norway - everybody is equal and equality important.
I already added this information in my next video 😁 will show you next week.
Believe me, tax which you pay in Norway you clearly fee that it world and it works great!
1. Infrastructure - one of the best roads in the world + the tunnels! I’m not an engineer but as a ‘final user’ they are amazing
2. Medical care - I only received my residency number and already was invited for a dozen of medical check ups - all for free (paid from tax)
3. Quality of life - you feel extremely secured in Norway. You know that you will always fine here: today, tomorrow, in 5-10 years. You just feel it , like no matter what will happen to you, the government will support you 🙂
Life hack - get an electric car and you’ll get your tax deduction 😉 I’ve just started researching this subject, I’ll reveal my finding as soon as it’s all clear to me ☺️
Have a nice day and a great week ahead 🤗
that tax rate is NOTHING compare to what the avg american pays and what we get for it. no universal education, healthcare, insurance, etc. most low-mid income pay ~25%, and corporations and ultra wealthy pay ~5-6%. ugh i can't wait to move there! but the only cakes i can bake are carrot cake, pumpkin cake, and lemon cake. might need to start practicing...
I used to live in London for 10 years before I moved to Norway... salary is incomparable! And I never left the office at 4pm before 😁 so I feel your pain very well 😉
Not to mention sick leave, in Norway is all paid 😉
Carrot cake, pumpkin cake and lemon cake 😱😱 what’s your office address? 🧐 I’ll be next to your coffee station on Friday at 7:40am sharp 😅
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel heh hopefully i'll be in bergen in a couple of years, but much much sooner if i get the opportunity. but feel free to visit once i do!
@@c.ladimore1237 I’ve been to Bergen last weekend for Easter 😉 amazing city! Even during lockdown! It looks fantastic and has so many places to visit 😌
Unfortunately 80% of the restaurants were closed.. Fish village, fish market and fjords tour were also closed.. so I’ll definitely be back to Bergen soon for a proper tour 😉
@@c.ladimore1237 Bergen welcomes you :)
I won't agree with #1, i have a bad experience with the company responsible for my rent... They are lazy, uncooperative and i need to remind them to do their job and always to tell them about the things they missed/did wrong in their e-mails. They do it 100% of the time
I am jealous.
I miss Norway... :(
I wish I could get a job, and go back in Norway...
So true .. Norway is a great country indeed ☺️🤗
@Trend tv things aren't same anymore for those who are coming from developing or less developed countries.
norwegian tax is 36%
