Calculation
The contribution is calculated on the basis of the ATP contributions you have paid for your employees.
Each time you pay a full ATP contribution for a quarter in the amount of DKK 852.00 (ATP contribution as of 01/01/2016), the company has to pay a quarter’s contribution to Barsel.dk of DKK 337.50.
Contributions are calculated per quarter and consider the trainees below the age of 25 for whom you are not paying contributions.
Please note that your trainees must be registered with the Employer’s Reimbursement System (AUB) for you to be exempt from paying contributions to Barsel.dk. Register trainees in AUB’s self-service (in Danish)
