The working hour restrictions are the same for everybody. You should not work more than 12 hours a day. Tax rate is based on your revenues and assets and is not linked to whether you have full or part time jobs

Hi,

Can you please do a "salary breakdown" example, if a person is earning 500000 NOK appr. In terms of Net Income, Taxes and other expenses?

Thanks in advance.

This has been already much discussed, with 500000K you would have around 36% tax, which means net 320000. This includes contribution to social security and pension.
