According to a quick web search, dagpenge can be up to 90% of your previous salary with a maximum just over 22DKK/mo (or about USD3400/mo). I don't know how that is to live on in Denmark but it's decent here in the US, except in the really expensive bits.
My unemployment benefits came to about USD900/mo, averaged over the whole year. And that was the maximum possible.
Yay capitalism?
