Invoice in DKK (Danish Krone)

The Danish krone (DKK) is used throughout Denmark and Greenland and is pegged closely to the euro through ERM II.

If you work with Danish companies or public institutions, invoicing in DKK avoids confusion and keeps totals aligned with local accounting.

Cakedesk lets you create invoices and proposals in DKK with proper separators, currency symbols, and structure.

#A brief history of the Danish krone

DKK was introduced in 1875 when Denmark joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union. After the union dissolved, the krone remained Denmark's currency. Today it is maintained with a stable peg to the euro.

  • Denmark
  • Greenland
  • Faroe Islands (with locally issued króna at a 1:1 peg)

It is also used for:

  • Government and public-sector contracts in Denmark
  • Services for Danish tech, design, and shipping industries
  • International agreements where Danish partners want local currency pricing

#Who typically accepts invoices in DKK?

Invoices in DKK are commonly accepted by:

  • Businesses registered in Denmark or Greenland
  • Danish public-sector clients
  • Nordic companies that maintain DKK accounts
  • International partners serving Danish customers

#When should you invoice in DKK?

Invoice in DKK when:

  • Your client is based in Denmark or operates DKK accounts

  • Pricing is set in krone to match budgets

Billing in DKK keeps invoices familiar for Danish accounting teams and reduces currency friction.
