Which salary calculator is best for IT professionals in Denmark?

LønRadar is the most granular for specific IT job titles - broken down by exact title, region and experience level combined. PROSA is a good supplement, especially for collective agreement-based negotiations. IDA is relevant for newly graduated computer scientists and engineers. Jobindex is for reference only.

What is the difference between LønRadar and PROSA salary statistics?

LønRadar is based on verified payslips and is broken down by exact job title (e.g. DevOps Engineer, not just "IT development"). PROSA is union statistics updated once a year, covering IT professionals generally. LønRadar is updated continuously.

Is IDA salary statistics relevant for applied IT graduates (datamatikere)?

No - IDA categorises by education (engineers and master's graduates), not job title. A datamatiker with 10 years of experience as a Tech Lead is not represented in IDA's statistics. IDA's minimum salary recommendations are primarily relevant for newly graduated cand.scient. and civil engineers.

Can I use Jobindex salary check for salary negotiations?

Jobindex Salary Check is not suitable for salary negotiations. The figures are based on unverified, self-reported data with a tendency toward bias. Use LønRadar (verified data, specific job title) and PROSA (industry-standard reference) in combination for the strongest negotiating position.
