Jobindex salary calculator: Alternative and comparison (2026)
Here we take a closer look at Jobindex's salary calculator: what it can do, who it's for, and what LønRadar offers as an alternative with verified payslips.
What is Jobindex's salary calculator?
Jobindex's salary calculator "Tjek din løn" (Check your salary) is one of Denmark's best-known free salary check solutions. It is easy to access and gives a quick overview - but the figures are self-reported and not verified against actual payslips.
Jobindex is Denmark's largest job portal and offers "Tjek din løn" (Check your salary) - a free salary calculator available to everyone. It is easy to use and gives a quick overview of salary levels across many professional groups and sectors.
An important difference is the data source: Jobindex's salary data is self-reported by users. This means the figures are not verified against actual payslips, and there can be deviations from actual salary levels. Users can report whatever they want, and there is no validation.
Jobindex covers broadly, which is an advantage if you work outside IT. But for IT professionals, the broad coverage also means that categories are often too general to give accurate figures for specific roles like DevOps Engineer or Data Scientist.
Target audience: all professional groups, broadly covering
