Estimates use 2026 Danish tax rates. Income deductions use the average marginal rate (37.0%); mortgage interest and capital losses use the capital income rate (25.6%). Your actual saving depends on your income level, municipality, and personal circumstances. Not tax advice — verify at skat.dk or consult a Danish tax adviser.
Wise

Send money home without the bank markup

Most Danish banks add a 3–5% hidden margin on the exchange rate when you send money abroad. Wise uses the real mid-market rate with a small, transparent fee shown upfront — so more of your money actually arrives.
