Can I get free or subsidised childcare in 2026? These are the rules.
If your household's total income is below 677.499 kroner annually, you can apply for a free place. The amount of the subsidy depends on the household's income. The percentage of the subsidy can therefore vary between 1-100%.
To get a free or subsidised childcare place, you must apply via Digital Placement (Digital Pladsanvisning).
If your household's total annual income is below 218.101 DKK, you are eligible for a free childcare place. In this case, you will not pay anything for childcare.
If your household's total annual income is between 218.101 DKK and 677.499 DKK, you are eligible for a subsidised childcare place. In this case, you will pay part of the cost of childcare.
