Why Did I Receive Less Than My Expected Salary?

If you’ve received less than your expected salary, it’s likely due to tax deductions. Here's a simple explanation to help you understand:

• Tax Card Requirement: In Scandinavia, everyone who works needs a tax card. This is an agreement between you and your country's tax office about how much tax you should pay.

• Salary Partner: Our salary partner, EasyFreelance, handles your payments. Before paying you, they need to get your tax card from the tax office.

• Tax Deduction: Based on the tax card, EasyFreelance calculates the amount of tax you owe and deducts it from your salary.

So, the salary you receive is already taxed. You don’t need to worry about paying additional taxes on it later. This ensures that your taxes are handled automatically, making it easier for you to manage your finances. If you have any questions regarding your taxes, you need to contact the tax office.
