Effective rate against marginal rate
The effective rate of 25.4% is the average cost of every unit of pay across the whole salary. The marginal rate is what the next slice of pay is charged at — around 33.6% on the next NOK 1,000 of gross. The marginal rate is always the higher of the two, because the lower bands have already been taxed at less. It is the marginal rate, not the effective rate, that decides what a pay rise is actually worth.
