What is the additional rate?

If you meet a number of conditions, you can get an increased unemployment benefit rate for the first three months (481 hours).

To get the increased unemployment benefit rate, you must:

  • Have been a continuous member of the unemployment insurance fund for the last four years before unemployment.
  • meet a double income requirement within the last three years. As a full-time insured person, you must have earned DKK 573,264. As a part-time insured person, you must have earned DKK 382,176.
  • be entitled to a daily allowance rate that is higher than the 100% rate (DKK 22,041).

If you meet the conditions, you can get an increased unemployment benefit rate for the first three months. Once you have received the additional rate for three months, you will be transferred to the regular unemployment benefit rate.

How we calculate your unemployment benefit rate

Your individual unemployment benefit rate is calculated based on the 12 months in the last two years when you have received the most salary. If you are an employee, we can calculate your unemployment benefit rate based on A and B income, from which you pay labor market contributions. Please note that this means that we cannot include income that does not meet the requirement.

As a starting point, you can receive 90% of your income, but you can never receive more than the highest unemployment benefit rate.

Benefit rate for recent graduates

As a recent graduate, you will receive a graduate rate. This depends on whether you have dependents and whether you are over 30 years of age. See the graduate rates for 2026 in the table further up the page.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate my unemployment benefit rate if I am self-employed?

If you are self-employed, we can calculate your unemployment benefit rate based on your business profits. B-income and profits from self-employment must be included in your annual statement.

What if I haven't been paid for 12 months?

If you haven't had 12 months of income, we will make a calculation based on the months where you have reported hours.

What if I haven't had a job in the last two years?

If you haven't worked at all within the last 2 years, we extend the period to 3 years.

When can I get a new unemployment benefit rate calculated?

We can calculate a new unemployment benefit rate in selected situations:

  • New placement: If you are completely new to the unemployment benefit system.
  • Reinstatement: If you have been in the unemployment benefit system before, but have now earned a new benefit entitlement.
  • Insurance switch: If you are transferring from full-time insurance to part-time insurance.
  • Recent graduate: If after 6 months you have had work that meets the conditions.
