This rate applies to all employment income above the standard deduction. The calculator uses Sermersooq, the capital region, as the default municipality, though rates vary by region.
Do I get any tax deductions as an employee in Greenland?
Yes, as a full tax resident employed in Greenland, you receive a standard employment deduction of DKK 58,000 against your gross income. This includes a base deduction of DKK 48,000 plus an additional allowance of DKK 10,000, which significantly reduces your taxable income.
What is the mandatory pension contribution in Greenland?
All 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 much will I take home if I earn DKK 500,000 in Greenland?

Use the calculator on this page to see your exact take-home amount based on your specific salary.
Are there different tax rates for different regions in Greenland?

Check with your employer or local tax authority for your specific region's rates.
