Salary insurance

Salary insurance supplements your unemployment benefits. If you're eligible, it can cover up to 90% of your previous income, helping you maintain your lifestyle and avoid major financial loss while you're between jobs.

Salary insurance gives you extra financial security if you lose your job. While a-kassen A&Til provides you with unemployment benefits, salary insurance helps close the gap between your regular salary and the benefits you receive.

If you meet the requirements, salary insurance can supplement your benefits and bring your total income up to 90% of what you earned before becoming unemployed.

For example, if your previous monthly salary was 40,000 DKK, and unemployment benefits cover around 20,359 DKK, salary insurance can cover a large part of the difference – helping you stay financially stable while you search for a new job.

Because dagpenge alone may not be enough if you have a higher salary. Salary insurance gives you peace of mind and financial room to breathe while you focus on finding your next job – not just paying the bills.

The cost of salary insurance depends on your current income and the coverage you choose. It’s based on how much you earn today and how much you want the insurance to pay out each month if you become unemployed. You can use our salary insurance calculator to see which plan and price fit your situation best.

At a-kassen A&Til, we calculate your insurance based on the information you provide. With salary insurance, you get peace of mind, greater financial security, and more freedom to focus on your next step in working life – not your bills.

Can my seniority be transferred?

If you already have a similar insurance policy with another provider, your seniority may be transferred to your salary insurance with a-kassen A&Til. This means that the usual 9-month qualification period can be shortened or even removed entirely. To make this possible, you must sign up for salary insurance with a-kassen A&Til immediately after your previous policy ends.
