What is the interactive payslip?

This tool guides you through the typical items on your payslip, so you can check that your salary is correct.

Payslips can look very different, and if you work in the public sector, your payslip will have a very specific format.

Select a payslip type. When you’ve chosen a type, click on the element you want explained. Note that all but the private payslip are multiple pages. Toggle between pages in the bottom.

The elements with commentary will be marked in a light blue and when you hover over them, you can read about each item.

Toggle the language in the right corner for English explanations. The pay slip will stay Danish, so you can compare to your own, but the explanations will translate.

If you encounter an error on your payslip or have more questions that the tool does not give you answers to, please contact your employer (HR or payroll office). They are best equipped to explain the different entries on your payslip.

If there is a disagreement or dispute about your pay slip, you are very welcome to send it in to IDA, and our legal advisers will help you.
