Hire across Denmark without setting up a local entity. Peak's people-first approach lets you employ, pay and support talent while we handle income tax, eIndkomst reporting and Denmark's collective-agreement framework.
Denmark's flexicurity model pairs flexible hiring with strong worker security, backed by a highly productive, digital and English-proficient workforce - and you can hire here without a local entity.
Flexible hiring and dismissal balanced with strong social security.
No percentage-based payroll tax - among the lightest in Europe.
High productivity, strong English and a digital-first culture.
A leader in green energy, life sciences and technology.
A natural base for the wider Scandinavian region.
We help you weigh whether Denmark fits your values, not just the opportunity.
For most teams entering Denmark, an EOR is faster, cheaper and lower-risk than establishing a local entity.
| Denmark entity setup | Peak EOR | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ApS from DKK 20,000 share capital, plus ongoing accounting and compliance | No setup costs, transparent monthly pricing |
| Time to hire | Registration can be quick, but bank onboarding often adds weeks | 2-4 weeks, full compliance included |
| Ideal for | 10+ employees, permanent commitment, local board needs | Testing markets, 1-20 employees, flexibility needed |
Your upfront entity cost with Peak. Skip the DKK 20,000 ApS share capital, company registration and the ongoing compliance overhead - with the freedom to scale up or down without complications.
We'll tell you when setting up your own entity makes more sense. Our goal is your success, not our commission.
Denmark has no statutory minimum wage - pay and many terms are set by collective agreement under the Danish model. We keep every contract, deduction and eIndkomst filing correct.

| Labour-market contribution (AM-bidrag) | 8% of gross, before other income tax |
| Income tax | State and municipal, with a top tax ceiling |

| Filing | Monthly reporting to eIndkomst (E-income) |
