What you can get in unemployment benefits in 2025

New year, new unemployment benefit rates. As we enter 2025, you'll get paid a little more if you're on unemployment benefits.

Your unemployment benefit rate is calculated based on your income over the past two years. As a starting point, you can receive 90% of your income, up to a maximum of DKK 21,091 per month in 2025 if you are a full-time member. This is the maximum rate. There is no minimum rate.

If you are a part-time member, the maximum rate is DKK 14,061.

You may be able to get an increased unemployment benefit rate for the first 481 hours you receive unemployment benefits. We call this a supplementary rate, and in 2025 it is DKK 25,070 for full-time members and DKK 16,713 for part-time members.
