Denmark Housing Zone & Cost Finder

Pick a city and flat size to see the rent BoligPortal has published for it, with transport costs and an estimated monthly budget. Each rent figure is shown with its source and date; Copenhagen transport passes use Din Offentlige Transport's 2026 fares. Every other figure is a rough estimate, so check current listings and prices before you budget.

Rent is BoligPortal's figure for the whole city or municipality named beside it, at that size; it is not a quote for any flat. “Reported average” means the source calls the figure an average. BoligPortal's Aalborg data file lists the 2- and 3-room rents that its July 2025 Aalborg release called averages as medians; the other sources don't say how their averages were calculated. Figures from 2025 are over a year old. The total adds that rent to the transport pass (DOT 2026 fares in Copenhagen) and to rough estimates for everything else: transport outside Copenhagen, utilities, internet, groceries and eating out are not survey data. Not a guarantee of actual costs.
