What you can get in unemployment benefits in 2026

When we enter 2026, 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 22,041 per month in 2026 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 14,694 per month.

In 2026, the income requirement will increase to DKK 286,632 for full-time insurance and DKK 191,088 for part-time insurance.

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 2026 it is DKK 26,198 for full-time members and DKK 17,465 for part-time members.
