What is the income tax rate in Norway?

The income tax rate in Norway varies significantly based on your income, but on a $75,000 salary, your effective income tax rate will be approximately 34.0%. This is a moderate rate compared to many other developed nations. Norway uses a progressive tax system. The general income tax rate is 22% on taxable income, but you also pay a "national insurance contribution" and a "bracket tax" (trinnskatt) which increases with higher income levels. For example, the trinnskatt starts at 1.7% for incomes over NOK 198,350 (approx. $18,500 USD) and goes up to 17.4% for incomes above NOK 1,119,850 (approx. $104,000 USD). So, while the base rate is 22%, those additional taxes push up your effective rate substantially. If you earn more, your tax rate will climb further. For a single person earning $150,000 USD, your effective rate could easily exceed 40%. Before you move, research how the specific Norwegian tax brackets will impact your personal income.
