Simpler rules for students in the unemployment fund

From the first of January 2025, new rules mean that trainees and apprentices will have the same income ceiling alongside their trainee or apprentice salary as students on SU, and at the same time, age will no longer have an impact on whether you can be exempt from paying tuition fees.

Next year, students and apprentices will be able to earn the same while studying as students can today without having to pay unemployment insurance contributions. The income ceiling will be the same for everyone. The income ceiling will be raised in 2025 to DKK 25,452 per month / DKK 305,424 per year. It is calculated as 120.67% of the highest unemployment benefit rate, which in 2025 is DKK 21,092.

This will allow many students and apprentices, especially those on low wages, to earn something on top of their student and apprentice wages, without compromising their right to dues exemption.

The special requirements for members over 30 years old will be removed

In addition, the requirements for dues exemption will be the same for all students regardless of age. This means that 30-year-olds will no longer be required to pay early retirement contributions. They will also no longer have to meet an income or employment requirement at the start of the program.
