Assumptions
Tax year: 2026
Last updated: 2026-08-11
- Denmark is modeled for one standard employee using official 2026 state tax thresholds, labour market contribution, ATP, personfradrag, beskæftigelsesfradrag, and jobfradrag.
- Municipal tax can use Denmark's 2026 average rate or the configured rates for Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg. Church tax is optional.
- Commuting deduction, A-kasse, and trade union contributions are treated as ligningsmaessige deductions that reduce municipal and church tax bases but not the state bracket taxes.
- Remaining simplifications are documented in docs/tax-assumptions.md, including the exclusion of capital income, tax-card withholding mechanics, and special senior or single-parent allowances.
