AM-bidrag (Arbejdsmarkedsbidrag) is a mandatory 8% gross labor market contribution deducted from your total salary before applying tax-free allowances and municipal/state income taxes.
Personfradrag is Denmark's standard personal tax-free allowance (~51,600 DKK/year or ~4,300 DKK/month). The employment deduction (beskæftigelsesfradrag) is 10.65% up to ~45,100 DKK/year. Both reduce your taxable income base.
Topskat is an additional 15% tax bracket levied on annual income (after 8% AM-bidrag) exceeding roughly 618,400 DKK (around 51,533 DKK/month).
