Package deals on Unemployment Insurance, union and extra wage insurance

You can often get a discount if, in addition to unemployment insurance (A-kasse), you also buy wage insurance, trade union, or both as a package deal.

Here are some of the best deals right now (checked 04/09/2026):

Det Faglige Hus

In "Det Faglige Hus" you get free union membership for 12 months if you become a member of A-kasse and choose wage insurance with coverage of at least DKK 2,000 per month in addition to unemployment benefits for up to 3 months. It costs DKK 590/month for the first 12 months. Then DKK 659/month.

You can get up to DKK 6,000 in wage insurance coverage and still get 12 months of free union membership. The price increases by approx. DKK 30 per DKK 1,000 extra in wage insurance. So the price for A-kasse + union membership + DKK 3,000 in wage insurance is DKK 620/month for the first 12 months. Then DKK 689/month.

Krifa A-kasse

In Krifa you can choose "Krifa Complete" consisting of unemployment insurance, trade union and free wage insurance for a total price of DKK 706 per month.

You get a larger payout from wage insurance the longer you are a member. After 6 months you can get DKK 4,500 per month in addition to unemployment benefits. After 12 months the amount is DKK 6,000 per month, and after 18 months the amount is DKK 7,500 in addition to unemployment benefits. You can get a payout from wage insurance for up to 6 months at a time.

If you have wage insurance elsewhere, you can transfer your right to wage insurance to Krifa if you can document your seniority (via policy and payment). This allows you to skip the qualification period with Krifa and get DKK 3,000/month in coverage for the first six months. After that, you will follow the steps above.

ASE A-kasse

In ASE you can get a package consisting of A-kasse, trade union and wage insurance with payment for up to 6 months. If you have been a member for 6 months, you can get up to DKK 3,000 in addition to unemployment benefits for 6 months. When you have been a member for 12 months, you can get up to DKK 6,000 in addition to unemployment benefits for 6 months. The 6,000 from wage insurance assumes that you earn at least DKK 33,865 per month. The entire package costs DKK 699/month.
