Income is Statistics Denmark's median equivalised disposable income: a family's income after tax, divided by its equivalence scale, so one income is a single adult's. Denmark sets no limit on the payment as a share of income. Lenders need a 5% deposit, and debt above four times gross income counts as high, which rules out some variable-rate and interest-only loans when the loan is also above 60% of the home's value.
