The way we calculate the tax is different depending on which tax card you're using.

1️⃣ I use my primary tax card (Hovedkort)

2️⃣ I use my secondary tax card (Bikort)

3️⃣ I use my tax exemption card (Frikort)

See below how we calculate what you get paid on the individual shifts.

1) Tax calculations on individual shifts (Primary tax card):

When using your hovedkort, the tax allowance is applied on a monthly basis.

We apply our tax calculations to individual shifts in the same way as SKAT does, so your tax card is applied to the first shifts in the month until the tax allowance (fradrag) has been used up. After that, your tax rate is applied to the full shift.

This means you may see that the shifts you take early in the month pay more than the shifts you take at the end of the month - this is simply how the tax system works, so no need to worry 🤗

2) Tax calculations on individual shifts (Secondary tax card):

When using your bikort, then you do not have a fradrag which means that we apply your tax rate on the full shift.

3) Tax calculations on individual shifts (tax exemption card):

When using your frikort, the tax allowance is applied on a yearly basis.

We apply our tax calculations to individual shifts in the same way that Skat does, so your tax allowance (fradrag) is applied to your shifts in the beginning of the year. When you reach your limit on your tax exemption card, then you start paying tax for each of your shifts.

If there is the possibility that you use up your tax exemption before the year is over, it can be a good idea to use your hovedkort instead – because for this card, you can distribute your tax allowance (fradrag) over 12 months.
