Updated income statistics applicable to applications submitted from 1 October 2025

SIRI uses income statistics made by the Confederation of Danish Employers (DA) in the case processing of applications to assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards.

An updated version of the income statistics with information from the second quarter of 2025 is now available and applies to applications submitted from 1 October 2025. We update the income statistics each quarter, and we expect the next update will apply from 1 January 2026.

What does the change mean for you as an applicant?

If you apply for a residence and work permit after 30 September 2025, your application will be evaluated according to the income statistics from the second quarter of 2025. If you have applied between 1 July and 30 September 2025, your application will be evaluated according to the income statistics from the first quarter of 2025. 

Where can I find the updated income statistics that apply from 1 October 2025?

You can find the updated income statistics on the Words and concepts page Danish standards for salary.
