Frequently asked questions
What is the income tax rate in Greenland?
Greenland has a flat income tax rate of 42% on employment income for full tax residents. This combined rate includes the national tax (10%), municipal tax (26%), and joint local tax (6%), with the calculator using Sermersooq (the capital region) as the default municipality. The actual rate may vary slightly depending on which municipality you live in.
Do I get any tax deductions or allowances in Greenland?
Yes, full tax residents working in Greenland receive a standard employment deduction of DKK 58,000 (which includes a base deduction of DKK 48,000 plus an additional allowance of DKK 10,000). This amount is deducted from your gross income before calculating your income tax liability.
What is the mandatory pension contribution in Greenland?
Employees in Greenland must contribute 11% of their gross income to a mandatory pension fund. This contribution is deductible from your taxable income, meaning it reduces the amount of income subject to the 42% tax rate.
How is my take-home pay calculated in Greenland?
Your take-home pay is calculated by taking your gross income, deducting the 11% mandatory pension contribution and the DKK 58,000 employment allowance, applying the 42% income tax rate to the remaining amount, and then subtracting the tax owed. The calculator shows you exactly what you'll receive after all these deductions and taxes.
Does Greenland have different tax rates for different regions?
Yes, Greenland's tax rates vary by municipality because each municipality sets its own municipal tax rate. This calculator uses Sermersooq (home to the capital Nuuk) as the default region with a 26% municipal tax rate, but your actual rate may differ if you live or work in a different municipality.
