Methodology
How we get to your number
No jargon, no black box. Here is exactly what happens between your first answer and your result.
- 01
Tell us about your work
Your salary, whether you are private, public or self-employed, how many days you work each month and how often you work from home in Sweden.
- 02
Tell us about your home
Where you live or would live, whether you rent or own, and what you pay for housing and utilities on each side of the strait.
- 03
Tell us how you commute
Train, car or a combination. Use your own monthly cost or let us estimate it from your route, transport mode and number of commuting days.
- 04
We estimate your financial picture
Danish tax on Danish-sourced salary, Swedish tax where the work pattern makes it relevant, housing, commuting and everyday costs — all converted to one currency.
- 05
Compare Sweden and Denmark
You see disposable income side by side, what drives the difference, and what happens if your salary, housing or commute changes.
