Gross salary of 65000 DKK is about 35000 DKK after taxes.Is the wife working as well?
I've been offered relocation to Copenhagen on a role that pays me 65000 DKK monthly before taxes. Can any experts already living here guide me if this is decent pay for me to make this decision to move to Denmark?
I will be moving with my Wife. I do not have kids but I have a dog and 3 cats. I have no issues commuting to work from the outskirts but how easy/difficult it is to move with Pets? Especially with the homeowners giving their space for rent to tenants having pets in general
Thanks
Denmark isn't cheap, not even for us living here.
It is just me and my wife.
Is it possible to live well on that salary?
Can foreigners rent a place ?
1. what will be the percentage of tax deductions for expats and accordingly what will be my net monthly income?
2. what is the average of monthly rent for apartment with 2 bedroom in Copenhagen since my work is there.
3. what is the monthly cost of living (expenses, transportation, food, outing, ...etc) for family of 2 adults and one kid (2 yeas old)
4. what is the educational annual fees for reputable international schools in Copenhagen for a kid with 2 years old.
5. How much is expected to be saved from the net of monthly salary?
Food for 2 people about 5000 DKK a month without restaurant visits. And how much you can save from the rest of your salary is entirely up to you.
if you choose not live in the city, with 38,000 DKK as much I know you can't save any money and you can only survive, if you not drink or smoke cigarettes and not go out to any restaurant for dinner. And if you lucky someone to help you to find you a place to live.
I have been offered 38000DKK/month after tax in Copenhagen. Will that be enough for the family of two. Please let me know the monthly cost in Copenhagen for the family of 2
I am moving to Copenhagen and will be based in Taastrup. Can someone suggest what will be the rent for a 60-65 meter square 2 room apartment and what is the cost of living for 2 people ?
I just got offered a paid internship in Copenhagen. I have a master's degree and am almost done with a 2nd one, plus 7 years experience in the field. Do you know how much I could expect for salary? From the above article, I'm planning on setting the low bar at 10,000 to 12,000, under which I'd be risking being in the negative, but I have no idea how much I should ask if they ask me to give them a number.
(I'm an interior architect, and an EU citizen btw).
Thank you in advance!
I got onsite opportunity with 58000 DKK . I have family 2 kids below 10 yrs and wife.
What would be the total living cost. How much monthly I can save? I need to save at least 10000 DKK per month.
Please suggest
Check my replies to your questions below:
1. what would be the net take home salary, my office is in Njalsgade area Copehagen.
30000 = 4470 USD, good salary, even for Copenhagen
2. i will be relocating with my 3 years old son and wife(she would not be workin their)
With your salary you will be able to support your family fairly. Not something extraordinary but a decent live in Denmark.
3. what would be the right and not expensive place to live as i would not mind to travel for an hour.
This is the most problematic question as rental in Copenhagen is expensive, there are no super cheap areas vs. expensive areas. Rents are high and super high, period. For your family, you will need a 2 bed room apartment at least and the average price per month is 10-11 thousand DKK, that will mean 1/3 from your salary. If your wife cooks, then you will be able to save money. Eating outside, partying in Copenhagen costs a lot
4.what would be the total expense( food, Utilities, Housing, Travel, kids education).
For your family, I would say 15 k DKK should fit and, in theory, you will have some savings.
Again, it depends on your life style.
Kind regards

1. The net salary after taxes will be around 30000 dkk, which should be more than enough for you as single person.
2. Accomodation is hard to find indeed and is more expensive than the average shown by Numbeo.
3. Gentofte is posh, expensive and boring but safe and within good commuting time from Copenhagen. Taastrup is working class area , a bit less safe but more vibrant and cheaper of course
I've received a job offer from a startup company with relocation included in Copenhagen (only flight tickets + visa) and an income of 40-45k Danish Krone a month. + equity stake. My wife is pregnant wnad we aready have 2 kids so eventually we'll be a family of 5. Do you think that the salary of 40-45K Danish Krone monthly will be enough for me and my family? The position I've been offered is a Software developer and mines will be the only income intially.
Also, do you think my entire familly should make the trip for rellocation intially or only I? I'm thinking to travel only I at the beginning so that I can see the cost of living before we actually making the move entirely.
Since my wife is pregnant, should we wait to give birth in our mother country or would you recommend she can give birth in Copenhagen? how much is the cost in a hospital in Copenhagen to give birth?
Thanks in advance.
