Grants based on income
The table below lists the grants available for child care facilities as from January 1, 2018:
Income (in DKK) | Your payment as a percentage of full fee |
Up to and including 173,800 | Payment: 0 % (free care) |
173,781 to 177,653 | Payment: 5 % |
177,654 to 539,799 | Within this interval, payment will increase by 1 % for each DDK 3,853 increase in income |
539,800 and above | Payment: 100 % (full fee) |
The above-mentioned income limits are increased by DKK 7,000 for each additional child under the age of 18, who lives at home. For single providers the income limits are increased by DKK 59,492 yearly.
When you have been given a grant, please remember:
- to check that the household income disclosed by you in connection with your grant corresponds to your personal income (gross income minus ATP, AM-contributions, and deductible pension contributions, if any).
- to inform of any changes in your income or family set-up via Digital Pladsanvisning.
If you fail to inform about an increase in your income, you might be receiving a higher grant than you are entitled to. In that case, you will be required to repay some of the grant.
If you are self-employed
If you are self-employed, you must complete the form "Opgørelse af indkomst for selvstændige" (statement of income for self-employed persons) and hand it in along with the application form via Digital Pladsanvisning. Please note that both forms are in Danish.
Family Discount
If you have more than one child in municipal child care facilities, you are entitled to a family discount. You pay full price for the most expensive place and half price for subsequent places in the day care center. This also applies if you have a child in a private child care institution.
You cannot get family discount to any after-school care, other than the SFOs at the public schools.
