The preliminary assessment for the year: what the fields mean
tap a line — the explanation appears
Which fields you see depends on your situation: the assessment shows not every field, but those already filled in or the ones you have added yourself.
Trækprocent and Månedsfradrag
look at this first
[[traekprocent|Trækprocent]] is your tax rate. Månedsfradrag is the part of your deduction taken off each month. Your employer receives both figures automatically, together with your .
These are the two figures you will later see on your payslip.
Where this is on your lønseddel →Every line in turn
- 1Felt 201 — expected salary
How much you expect to earn over the whole year and before all deductions — before and before tax.
- 2Felt 366
The date from which you start earning. SKAT uses it to spread your deduction over the part of the year that is left — rather than over all 12 months.
- 3Felt 304 — benefits
, sick pay and parental benefit. This is not salary — it has a field of its own.
- 4Felt 216
from the kommune. Also kept separate from salary.
- 5Trækprocent and Månedsfradrag
[[traekprocent|Trækprocent]] is your tax rate. Månedsfradrag is the part of your deduction taken off each month. Your employer receives both figures automatically, together with your .
- 6Felt 417 — the journey to work
The deduction for the journey to work, if the round trip is more than 24 km a day. Nobody will fill this field in for you.
- 7Felt 458
Union dues. Next to them, in felt 439, are contributions to your and efterløn.
- 8Interest on loans
Your bank and mortgage provider report their figures themselves. Interest on a private loan — felt 485 — you enter yourself.
- 9Beregn, then Godkend
Beregn recalculates and shows you the new rate. Godkend confirms it. Without the second button nothing is saved, and no new skattekort goes to your employer.
What to do if a number looks wrong
- Trækprocent is unexpectedly highCheck felt 201: it may hold the total for two employers, or last year's salary.
- It shows income from a job you no longer haveRemove it. Otherwise your deduction is spread over money you will not receive.
- You have just arrived and did not work the whole yearEnter your first working day in felt 366 — otherwise the calculation covers a full year.
