Trade unions (IDA/PROSA/DJOF)
The union salary calculators are often well-documented and good for segmentation (e.g. role, experience and sector). They are particularly strong if you want to compare yourself with a clearly defined group. Since they are typically published at fixed intervals, they can be less sensitive to very recent shifts in the market. They also require paid membership.
- Good segmentation and clearly defined member groups
- Large dataset
Jobindex
Jobindex's free salary calculator can be a great quick benchmark - especially if you want an immediate sense of the spread and level in the market. It's practical and easy to access. However, the result can vary depending on the data basis and context, for example when job listings or salary contributions cover broad categories.
- Good as a first benchmark and quick overview
- Covers many professional groups and sectors
Statistics Denmark
Statistics Denmark (DST) provides a solid, broad picture of salaries in Denmark and is a strong reference when you want to understand levels across sectors and industries. The figures are typically stable and comparable over time. However, it is often more "macro"-oriented and general, which can make it less precise for specific roles.
- Reliable overview and good comparability over time
- Data is reported by companies
LønRadar
LønRadar is more than just a free salary calculator. You get a detailed salary report that includes statistics on base salary, pension and current job listings for your profile. It is based on payslips and continuous contributions, giving you a current picture of what your market value is today. The report serves as a solid foundation for salary negotiation and job changes.
- Verified data sources (payslips) and continuous updates
- Designed to provide a concrete decision basis - not just an average
