    New Pricing Model

    In 2026, Research Services at Statistics Denmark will introduce a new pricing model that will affect all users of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes – initially for new projects established in 2026.

    The pricing model in Denmark’s Data Window is closely linked to the introduction of broader projects. The logic is to offer broad, long-term projects that can be used for several activities within a defined purpose. Therefore, the price will also be based on the fact that a large part consists of fixed annual costs throughout the project’s lifetime.

    With the possibility of access to broader projects, changes will be introduced in the new year regarding how data are ordered, as well as adjustments to the current pricing model in Research Services. In the new pricing model, we are introducing “Data Packages.” Each data package includes a set of registers belonging to a specific theme, which is expressed in the title of the data package. You can see an overview of the data packages and where the individual registers belong here (in Danish).

    You will pay for the number of data packages you are approved for and for the number of project accesses associated with each project. These elements cover the costs related to data delivery. In addition, there will be charges for special services that are ordered (such as consultancy, external data, and possible population delineations). You can read more about the new pricing model here (in Danish).

    The new pricing model will be implemented in two stages: on 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2027. All new projects from 1 January 2026 onwards will be under the new pricing model. Projects established before 2026 will transition to the new pricing model after 1 January 2027, at the time when the first new order is placed. You can read more about the transition arrangement here (in Danish).

    If you are interested in learning more about the pricing structure and the components included in the new model (including the costs related to data delivery, services, and disk storage), you can read more here (in Danish).
