Denmark pricing

How is the cost of a Danish hire made up?

Your monthly bill for a Danish employee has two parts. One is the EOR Denmark charge, from €599 per employee per month, which depends on role and scope. The other is the cost of employment itself: salary plus fixed levies, roughly 1.2% on top of gross pay in the 2026 example, as Denmark has no percentage-based social charge.

Cost questions

What do buyers ask about cost?

How is my fee worked out?+
By the role and the scope of service. Prices for Danish roles start from €599 per employee per month; once agreed, the fee is fixed for that role. It excludes salary and statutory levies, which pass through at cost, and any occupational pension and benefits you add.
Does the fee rise as a share of pay?+
No. It is a flat amount per employee for a given role and scope, quoted in euro. The parts that move with pay are AM-bidrag and income tax, which are percentages of salary but come out of the employee’s gross pay. The employer levies stay fixed sums.
What do employer levies add in Denmark?+
About 1.2% of gross pay in the 2026 worked example. The employer pays fixed sums per full-time employee: ATP DKK 198 a month, plus AUB at DKK 705.25, Barsel.dk at DKK 550 and the financing contribution at DKK 82, each per quarter, and AES by branch code (DKK 457 a year in group 71). On DKK 666,600 of gross pay that is DKK 8,202 a year, and no ceiling applies.
What passes through unmarked?+
Gross salary, the statutory levies collected through Samlet Betaling, work-injury insurance, and approved expenses such as work travel, which Funktionærloven puts on the employer for salaried staff. Pension and benefits you add are billed at cost too. None carries a margin.
Euro, kroner or both?+
We price our own fee in euro. Salaries reach employees in DKK, and Danish levies are calculated in DKK. We confirm how the DKK employment costs appear on your invoice when we prepare your quote, so nothing about currency comes as a surprise.
Can we stop, and what notice applies?+
Your service agreement sets our own terms. The employment follows Danish rules: under Funktionærloven the employer gives 1 month’s notice in the first 6 months and 3 months after that, rising with service to a maximum of 6, ending at a month end. In a probation of up to 3 months, notice is 14 days. Statutory severance applies only after 12 or 17 years.
