Gross vs net

Job ads in Denmark usually show bruttoløn (gross). Net is what hits your bank after AM-bidrag, A-skat, ATP, and any pension.

AM-bidrag

Labour-market contribution is 8% of AM-income for adults. It is taken before A-skat. From 2026, young people are exempt until the year they turn 18.

A-skat and your tax card

A-skat on a payslip is trækprocent × (A-income − monthly fradrag). Enter those two figures from your skattekort. If you leave the tax rate empty, KraftJob estimates from 2026 average municipal tax instead.

Temp (vikar) pay

Holiday pay (feriepenge) is often 12.5% on top of hourly wages and paid separately, so it is not in this monthly net. Pension and ATP depend on the agency’s scheme.
