Hi guys,
Im in the process of moving to CPH in a couple of months and besides trying to adjust to the new city and learning danish, I am also going to apply for as many jobs as I can. I was wondering what is the approximately basic salary that you can earn as a full time employee lets say for example as a cashier or as a sales person in a clothing store, babysitter, working in a daycare? I guess I would like to have an idea of what a basic salary is for jobs that are not skilled and don't require higher education.
Thank you in advance

Hello cctox,
You see, you're in one of six European countries that have not fixed minimum wage ... So it will be at the customer's head ...........

This link will give you an overview of the pay if the employer has signed an agreement with a union:

Do also have a look here:

If you are ready to distribute papers at night you'll be able to earn 140 - 160 DKK per hour.

My advice is try and see how much it will actually cost you to live here. Its an expensive town, anything less than 100 DKK/hour, before taxes, on a full time job will have you struggling.

Hi Hakanx,
You can try these pay calculators:

https://lontjek.dk/lon/LonTjek?job-id=2519990000000#/
How much to be paid depends of course on your personal education, experience, field ........ Most expats will have some experience and have much sought skills why they are paid very well. Many of the questions on this forum are about what pay to expect and how much tax to pay. Do use the search function. Most af the offers have been 50,000 kroner or more.
If the employer has signed an agreement, the minimum pay will be around 20,200 kroner per month. That's the minimum pay for an unskilled employee over 18 years why you cannot use that amount for anything.
