Wages above 17,672 kr. reduce the subsidy by 55 per cent. Your wage, your subsidy and certain other benefits together must not be higher than the wage ceiling. If they are higher, the subsidy is reduced by the amount that is over. The wage ceiling is the wage you would get on full time in the same job. Your employer states the amount. The subsidy is paid in arrears each month. If your wage changes afterwards, the subsidy must be corrected. This can happen for up to 12 months.
