Calculate what the cap on social assistance might mean for you

If you are receiving cash benefits (kontanthjælp), educational assistance (uddannelseshjælp), self-sufficiency and return benefit (selvforsørgelses- og hjemrejseydelse) or transition benefit (overgangsydelse), you can see a rough calculation here of how much you can receive in housing benefits (boligstøtte) and special help for high housing costs (særlig støtte) based on the cap on social assistance (kontanthjælpsloftet).

You can also check what it means for your housing benefits and special help for high housing costs if you have a job.

Please note that the self-service solution is in Danish. If you need assistance, you can find instructions in English for how to use the solution here:
