What lands in your account?

Estimate your monthly salary after tax using the withholding rate and allowance from your Danish tax card.

In 2026, AM contribution is due from 1 January if you turn 18 at any point during the year.

Your figures stay in this browser. No login or uploads.

How to use it

Use your current 2026 tax card and the cash salary on your payslip. Choose hovedkort or bikort, then add your own pension and ATP if they apply. The monthly allowance is not your annual personal allowance divided by 12.

Questions

Why do I need my tax card?

Your withholding rate and allowance already reflect the information in your preliminary assessment. This tool does not calculate municipal tax, church tax or the 2026 tax bands on its own.

Does bikort use my allowance?

No. The secondary card has a withholding rate but no allowance. Use your main card for only one payer.

Does this work for benefits or self-employment?

No. It models ordinary cash salary, not SU, pensions, benefits, B-income, benefits in kind or self-employment.

What about frikort?

This version does not track remaining free-card allowance. Use the official tax service for frikort rather than entering a guessed monthly amount.
