Feriepenger (holiday pay)

You'll find the basis on your payslip or the annual statement from your employer.

Check the percentage in your contract, on your payslip or with your employer. The statutory minimum is 10.2%; with five weeks of holiday 12% is common. The employer must follow the law and your contract.

Usually paid out in 2026.

Gross holiday pay

Enter the basis and percentage to see the result.

  • The basis is pay earned in the earning year — it excludes, among other things, holiday pay already paid and travel expense refunds. Do not simply enter your full annual gross.
  • Holiday pay replaces salary during holiday; the payout may include a deduction of salary for holiday days.
  • Holiday pay is taxable, even if no withholding tax is deducted when it is paid under ordinary taxation.
  • Special rules for extra holiday from age 60 (extra part limited to 6G) are outside this simple formula — the result may not be exact for such cases.
  • The result is not added to the tax calculator.

How to read the result

Under ordinary taxation you pay 22% tax on income after deductions (minimum standard deduction and personal allowance), progressive bracket tax on gross income, and national insurance. Bracket tax rises step by step — each higher rate only applies to the part of income in that bracket.

PAYE (kildeskatt på lønn) is a simplified scheme for some foreign workers: a flat rate on gross pay, no deductions and no tax return. It can pay off at higher incomes, but is often more expensive at lower incomes.

Feriepenger is holiday pay earned on the previous year's salary. The percentage depends on your contract but cannot be below the statutory minimum.

Why does my payslip differ from the result?

Your employer withholds tax according to your tax deduction card, and in June usually pays holiday pay instead of part of your salary. The calculator shows an annual average.

Am I on PAYE?

PAYE applies, among others, to people in their first year of tax residence or on short stays, with income below the limit. Skatteetaten decides when issuing your tax deduction card.
