Calculate your waiting allowance

Here you can

make an indicative calculation of how much you can receive in waiting allowance when you postpone your state pension.

In order to receive an indicative calculation, you must, among other things, state your and your spouse/cohabitant's income, if any, as well as the time when you want to postpone and start paying your state pension.

Please note that this is only an indicative calculation. Therefore, it is not certain that you can receive exactly the same amount in waiting or one-off supplements when you apply for your state pension.

When all the fields in the calculator are filled in, you'll see an indicative result of how much you can get, depending on which scheme you choose. The calculation assumes that you meet the employment requirement for the entire period you choose to postpone your pension. In addition, the calculation only applies to periods where you have earned a waiting percentage after July 1, 2018.

In some cases, it can be difficult to make an indicative calculation. This applies, among other things, if:

• Your spouse/cohabitant becomes a pensioner during the year you receive your state pension
• you have previously lived or worked abroad.

Note: The indicative calculation will be made based on the current rules for 2023. If you want to calculate your pension as it can appear from 1 January 2024, when earned income is no longer included in the calculation of the state pension, you must write "0" in the field "Salary income" at the step on Earned income. In this case, labour income is not included in the indicative calculation. 

By the end of 2023, Udbetaling Danmark will have a new solution ready that takes into account the new rules on earned income. 

Please note that the calculation is not an application.
