Your lønseddel may look different: the line names are the same, but the order depends on your employer.

Trækprocent and Fradrag

look at this first

Trækprocent is your tax rate; fradrag is the amount that is not taxed. Your employer receives both figures from your skattekort automatically.

If you see 55 % and fradrag 0, your employer has not received your skattekort and the maximum is being withheld. This can be put right.

AM-bidrag 8 %
The labour market contribution. It is taken first, before tax, from everyone who works.
