Calculate housing economy and mortgages in Denmark

Housing economy is one of the most important financial topics for most Danes. Whether you're considering buying your first home, refinancing your existing loan, or applying for housing allowance, it's crucial to have control of the numbers. Our calculators give you a complete overview of your housing economy.

How much can you afford?

Your buying power depends on household income, existing debt, disposable income, and current interest rates. Most Danish banks and mortgage institutions like Danske Bank, Nordea, Totalkredit, and Nykredit offer home buying calculators. A rule of thumb is that your total housing debt should not exceed 3.5-4 times your annual household income.

Mortgage loans and financing

In Denmark, home purchases are typically financed with a combination of mortgage loans (up to 80% of the home's value) and bank loans (the remaining 15%). You must provide at least 5% as a down payment. Choose between fixed-rate loans with fixed payments or flex loans with variable interest rates.

Housing allowance and subsidies

Housing allowance is paid by Udbetaling Danmark to renters with low income. The support depends on household income, rent amount, home size, and number of residents. You can make a preliminary calculation at Borger.dk.

Property value and disposable income

Your disposable income is crucial for what you can afford. Banks typically use a minimum of 5,000-8,500 DKK per adult and 2,500-3,000 DKK per child. Use danbolig's BoligSkøn or Boliga's price calculator to assess your property's current value.
