Denmark has an unusually strong economy, iirc it has the best employment market in the EU.
Even in Malmö which is right next door 46k euros/year is not a bad a salary for a programmer.
- _delirium 16y agoThe tax system is also considerably different. Danish nominal salaries are higher than the UK, but take-home pay is much closer and sometimes actually lower, because taxes are about twice as high in that bracket. Someone making 40k pounds in the UK, for example, will take home around 31k. To take home 31k pounds (265k kr) in Denmark, you'd have to make over 60k pounds (500k kr) nominal salary. However, the social services the two countries provide differ as well.
