I'm being at-home-dad one day a week, so I have also reduced my working hours with 20%.

In Sweden, salary over a certain amount is taxed with somewhere around 60% (not the full salary, only the part over a certain threshold). I haven't bothered looking up the exact figures but a reduction of working hours with 20% had led to an actual salary decrease around 10% due to these taxing rules.

In my view this is a damn good deal. I get a full day of and only pay 10% of my salary for it.

(I too enjoy my job a lot and work after hours but the extra day of still means I get much more relaxing weekends).
