Editing Danish Defence (section)

===Expenditures===
In 2006 the Danish military budget was the fifth largest single portion of the Danish Government's total budget, significantly less than that of the [[Ministry of Social Affairs (Denmark)|Ministry of Social Affairs]] (≈110 billion [[Danish krone|DKK]]), [[Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs (Denmark)|Ministry of Employment]] (≈67 billion DKK), [[Ministry of the Interior and Health of Denmark|Ministry of the Interior and Health]] (≈66 billion DKK) and [[Ministry of Education of Denmark|Ministry of Education]] (≈30 billion DKK) and only slightly larger than that of the [[Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Denmark|Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation]] (≈14 billion DKK). This list lists the complete expenditures for the Danish [[Ministry of Defence of Denmark|Ministry of Defence]].

The Danish Defence Force, counting all branches and all departments, itself has an income equal to about 1&ndash;5% of its expenditures, depending on the year. They are not deducted in this listing.

Approximately 95% of the budget goes directly to running the Danish military including the Home guard. Depending on year, 50&ndash;53% accounts for payment to personnel, roughly 14&ndash;21% on acquiring new material, 2&ndash;8% for larger ships, building projects or infrastructure and about 24&ndash;27% on other items, including purchasing of goods, renting, maintenance, services and taxes.

The remaining 5% is special expenditures to NATO, branch shared expenditures, special services and civil structures, here in including running the [[Danish Maritime Safety Administration]], [[Danish Emergency Management Agency]] and the Administration of Conscientious Objectors ([http://militaernaegter.dk Militærnægteradministrationen] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090323002924/http://militaernaegter.dk/ |date=2009-03-23 }}).

Because Denmark has a small and highly specialized military industry, the vast majority of Danish Defence's equipment is imported from NATO and the [[Nordic countries]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cms.polsci.ku.dk/pdf/dk_nato_omdoemme.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141023141751/http://cms.polsci.ku.dk/pdf/dk_nato_omdoemme.pdf |archive-date=2014-10-23 |url-status=live|title=Danmarks NATO omdømme|author=Jens Ringsmose|website=cms.polsci.ku.dk|date=November 2007|publisher=Dansk Institut for Militære Studier}}</ref>

====Yearly data====
There are significant differences between the Danish method and the NATO method of calculating defense budgets (among others due to what can be included), with the former resulting a considerably lower numbers than the latter.<ref name=DKDefSp/> For example, according to the Danish method, the expenditures in 2024 was DKK 36.16 billion, but according to the NATO method it was DKK 68.67 billion.<ref name=DKDefSp/> Using the NATO method, it has consistently increased in the last decade, with the budget tripling from 2014 to 2024 (DKK 22.77 to 68.67 billion) and the percentage doubling (1.15 to 2.37%).<ref name=DKDefSp/> The following all use the Danish method:
