Why I built it
After losing money from SU, the Danish student grant, I built
Lønklar to work out how much I could earn without crossing its
income limit. I wanted others to avoid the same mistake. I later
expanded it into a live pay calculator that students and people
working part-time or full-time in Denmark now use.
How it works
Choose a full-time, part-time or student mode, then enter your pay,
municipality, pension and deductions. The app breaks down taxes and
take-home pay, accounts for holiday pay, and shows how income
changes with salary or working hours. Students can include SU and
multiple jobs, and check their earnings against the SU income limit.
