Social Security
Residents and non-residents working in Denmark are required to pay social security contributions on their gross salary in Denmark or in the country of their employer after an E101 has been issued.
Employers do not pay any social security contributions.
Employees pay an ATP contribution of DKK 90 (avg.) per month as well as a social security contribution of 8%. The social security contribution is treated as tax.
