How this works Municipalities cover at least 75% of daycare cost; you pay the rest, reduced further by an income-based subsidy – full exemption below about DKK 218,100 household income (2026), tapering to full payment above about DKK 677,499. Each extra child under 18 raises the thresholds by DKK 7,000 and single parents by DKK 76,317. Rates shown are indicative Copenhagen 2026 figures and vary by municipality; see our childcare guide.
