Up to 100,000 kroner more in pension supplement for public pensioners

The pension supplement is not affected by having a possible wealth. However, any interest returns must be included as income.

Pension supplement for lone

If you are single, the pension supplement is DKK 8,016 a month. It is DKK 96,192 a year.

However, one must not earn more than DKK 93,400 a year if you want the full amount paid out.

However, one is still entitled to a working income of DKK 122,004 a year. It is also what is called a bottom deduction.

The pension supplement is reduced by 30.9 % of your income in addition to DKK 93,400 a year. You won't get anything paid if you earn more than DKK 404,700 a year.

Married couples and cohabitants

If you are married or have a cohabitant who is a pensioner, the pension supplement is DKK 4,102 a month, or DKK 49,224 a year.

However, as with single, your personal pension supplement is calculated for your total income.

In order to obtain full pension supplement, your total income in addition to the national pension must not be higher than DKK 187,100 a year. Here, too, you have a bottom deduction, which is at the same DKK 122,004 per year per person.

The pension supplement is reduced by 32 % (16 % to each) of your income if you earn more than DKK 187,100 a year and lapse completely if your total income in addition to the pension reaches more than DKK 494,800 a year.

Spouse is not retired

If your cohabitant or spouse is not a pensioner, the full addition is DKK 4,102 a month, or DKK 49,224 in one year.

A share of your spouse or cohabitant's income will be included in the calculation. There is a deduction of 54 % of the entire spouse's or cohabitant's working income.

If you have your own earnings, this will also be included in the calculation except for your bottom deduction, which, like in the other scenarios, is DKK 122,004 a year.

If you earn more than DKK 341,000 a year, however, the supplement lapses.
