Billing schedule and payment terms
- Currency: All published fees must be paid in Danish kroner (DKK). Any costs related to bank transfer fees, currency exchange or similar are the responsibility of the payer.
- Payment frequency and timing: School fees may be set and invoiced monthly, half‑yearly or yearly (the school year is treated as August–June, both inclusive). Monthly instalments are commonly arranged as 11 payments (no payment due in July). Monthly payments are due on the 5th of each month (except July). Published instalment columns show the per‑11‑month amounts. There is a specific published option for CPR‑less students that results in a higher instalment reflecting the lost state subsidy.
- Registration date rules: A child registered from day 1–20 of a calendar month is charged for the whole month; registration after the 20th is charged from the 1st of the following month. Companies may be registered as payers and are liable for all fees charged. In households where two adults are jointly responsible, both parties are jointly and severally liable to the school for payment.

Refunds, withdrawals and non‑payment
- Deposit refund conditions: Deposit is refunded only once books are returned in good condition and all outstanding payments are cleared; unclaimed deposits accrue to the school after six months if bank account information for refund is not provided. Deposit for a place not taken at the agreed time is not refunded. Year 11 deposits may be held until after September 1 to allow for exam administration, and any remark costs may be deducted.
- Withdrawal notice and charges: Withdrawal from the school (and from the reception class) requires a completed Notice of Withdrawal and three full calendar months' notice in advance (July is not included in the notice calculation). All fees remain chargeable through the end of the three‑month notice period regardless of actual attendance. Withdrawal from SFO or reception after‑care requires one month's notice to the end of a month; fees are chargeable to the end of that notice period regardless of attendance.
- Non‑payment consequences: If unpaid fees equal three months' school fees or more, the school may terminate the school attendance agreement and exclude the student; fees remain payable through any termination period as specified in the published terms.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable. Rygaards is a day school; no boarding fees are published.

Practical notes on payment methods
- The published terms specify that all payments must be made in DKK and that any transfer or exchange fees are the payer's responsibility. The published terms do not list explicit merchant payment methods (credit‑card providers or specific bank account details) in the fee schedule or the terms document; parents should follow the school's invoicing for the available payment method on each invoice.
