Calculate an estimate of your unemployment benefits

With the unemployment benefits calculator, you can estimate how much you can expect to receive in monthly unemployment benefits. If the calculation shows that you are eligible for an employment supplement for the first 481 hours, you must meet these three conditions:

  • You have been a member of the unemployment insurance fund (A-kasse) for the past 4 year
  • Your earned income entitles you to more than the maximum unemployment benefit rate
  • You have been employed for 2 years within the past 3 years

If you want to calculate the amount you will receive in benefits after deduction of Tax, you must contact SKAT (The Danish Tax Department). However, you can also try to make your own calculation at SKAT’s homepage www.skat.dk.

NOTE! If you make any changes in your Preliminary income assessment in the month of December, then please contact us to make sure, that the changes have been reported correctly to us. You do that by contacting us a few days after you have made changes to your Preliminary income assessment. Only needed for changes in December.

Calculation of net benefits
You must pay tax of your unemployment benefits. The benefits are paid out at the end of every month. The benefits will be transferred to your ‘Nemkonto’.
As a starting point we will use your primary tax card. If you don’t receive a full payment, we will use your tax deduction proportionately on the hours you do receive benefits for.
If you have a part time job where your employer is using your primary tax card, you have to tell us to use your secondary tax card.
