Taxes Included in This Salary Calculator
Labour Market Contribution (Am-bidrag): An 8% contribution deducted from
gross employment income before other taxes are calculated. It helps fund Denmark's labour market system, including unemployment, sickness, and parental leave benefits.
State Tax (Statskat): Following the 2026 Danish tax reform, state tax is structured into four cumulative brackets:
Bottom-Bracket Tax (Bundskat) at 12.01%,
Middle-Bracket Tax (Mellemskat) at 7.5%,
Top-Bracket Tax (Topskat) at 7.5%,
and Additional Top-Bracket Tax (Toptopskat) at 5%.
The bottom-bracket applies above the personal allowance, with higher brackets applying for progressively higher thresholds.
Municipal Tax (Kommuneskat): A flat local tax set by the municipality where you live, with rates varying across Denmark.
In 2026, Copenhagen's rate is 23.39%,
while the national average is around 25%.
Tax Ceiling (Skatteloft): A cap that limits combined state and municipal taxes, effectively lowering the state surcharge
if a high municipal tax rate would otherwise push the total marginal tax rate beyond the statutory maximum.
Church Tax (Kirkeskat): An optional tax paid by members of the national Church of Denmark to fund church services and administration.
Rates range from 0.38% to 1.30%
depending on the municipality, with Copenhagen having a Church Tax rate of 0.80% in 2026.
Danish Tax Deductions and Allowances
Our tax calculator factors in the standard deductions and allowances that apply to most employees in Denmark.
Some deductions, such as travel or union fees, depend on individual circumstances and are not included.
Personal Allowance (Personfradrag): A portion of your gross income that is exempt from state and municipal taxes.
In 2026, it stands at 54,100 kr. per year.
Employment Allowance (Beskæftigelsesfradrag): An automatic deduction for individuals with employment or business income.
It is currently set at 12.75% of income, capped at 63,300 kr. per year.
Job Allowance (Jobfradrag): An additional work-related deduction for higher income levels.
In 2026, it is calculated as 4.5%
of income exceeding 235,200 kr., with a limit of 3,100 kr. per year.
