Example with a period of 3 months or less of being released from notice
Current employment
You are employed in Bank Å with a monthly salary including fixed supplements of DKK 42,000.
You are terminated and released from notice on 31 May, with 3 months’ notice, so you will resign on 31 August. I.e. your period of being released from notice runs from 1 June to 31 August, and you are entitled to minimum compensation of 3 months’ gross salary.
The gross monthly salary in Bank Å is calculated as follows:
| Description | Amount |
| Monthly salary + fixed supplements [e.g. salaried employee and specialist supplements] | DKK 42,000 |
| The employer’s pension contribution [11.25%] | DKK 4,725 |
| Free phone [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 241 |
| Free car [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 0 |
| Insurances* [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 400 |
| Total gross monthly salary | DKK 47,367 |
| Total gross salary during the period of being released from notice | DKK 142,101 |
*Insurances refers to, e.g.: group life insurance, accident insurance, dental insurance and health insurance. This also includes other insurances where you deduct the taxable value.
New employment
You get a new job at Bank K on 1 July with a monthly salary including a fixed supplement of DKK 55,000.
The gross monthly salary in Bank K is as follows:
Calculation
It is essentially not relevant to use the calculator, because you are released from notice for 3 months or less, which means that you are entitled to salary from both Bank A and Bank K. This is because the employer terminating you is always obliged to pay you up to 3 months’ full salary [minimum compensation] regardless of whether you find a new job during the period of being released from notice.
The calculation of your total salary during the period of being released from notice is thus as follows:
| Description | Amount |
| Monthly salary + fixed supplements [e.g. salaried employee and specialist supplements] | DKK 55,000 |
| The employer’s pension contribution [11.25%] | DKK 6,188 |
| Free phone [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 242 |
| Free car [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 0 |
| Insurances* [the taxable value you deduct] | DKK 400 |
| Total gross monthly salary in new job | DKK 61,830 |
| Total gross monthly salary from the new job during the period of being released from notice [2 months July and August] | DKK 123,659 |
*Insurances refers to, e.g.: group life insurance, accident insurance, dental insurance and health insurance. This also includes other insurances where you deduct the taxable value.
