Moving to Denmark

Hi,

I am planning to move to denmark with 55000 dkk, is it a good salary to live in copenhagen?

is there any place which is close to copenhagen where i can rent apartment for little lesser price as copenhagen is very expensive in terms of housing rent.

Can anyone give me a little infomration on what would be basic expenses for a couple to live in denmark like rent,bills and etc except the personal choices of spending outside

Thansk in advance

Hi

With 55.0000, you will be just ok, but not more, if its only you there are working.

Housing is app 10.000-15.000, then you have to add food, transport, and here you have to expect 5.000-7.000.

Outside Cph, you can find a cheaper housing, but you still have to expect app 10.000, with heating, ect.

And final, the tax is app 45%,

Hi,

Most expats are offered 50 - 55,000 kroner plus a pension scheme. This amount is bigger than the pay most employees receive (average 2019 43,487 kroner), but it also mirrors that the expats are highly educated and their skills much sought.

If we take that hour taxable income will be 660,000 kroner a year, you are married, your wife doesn't have an income herself, you live in Gladsaxe municipality, your yearly tax will amount to 235.442,78 kroner. 
Your net income 425,000 kroner.
Rental, household, commuting 22,000 kroner per month = 264,000 kroner.
At your disposal (roughly estimated) 161,000 kroner yearly.

This calculation doesn't include your pension scheme.

I have found this guide which I think gives much good advice.

I have answered many similar questions on this forum. Please, use the search function above the last column: Search the Denmark section and take a look at my former posts. In the last column you also find the keywords to the posts.

I hope this will do for the moment, but you are welcome back if not.
