I can't speak to all of Europe but tech wages are significantly higher here in Denmark.
- emptysongglass 3y agoThat depends on if it's before or after tax. If after: 46k DKK out monthly is top of the line given our own crushing taxes. If before, yeah not good.
- jdmoreira 3y agoReally? Not in Sweden though. What do you think accounts for this difference?
- atdrummond 3y agoTax burden on Danish salaries is borne by employees post-tax rather than businesses. This tends to inflate net take home pay.
- thfuran 3y agoPost-tax taxes?
- atdrummond 3y agoJust remove that word - I failed to properly edit the sentence.
- 2000UltraDeluxe 3y agoThe social insurance (arbetsgivaravgift in Sweden IIRC) is paid by the employee. Apart from that, many compare the salaries in Copenhagen and Malmö, which is obviously unfair with Copenhagen being the national capital, while Malmö was a run-down hole the last time I was there. I assume tech wages in Stockholm are more comparable.
- paddim8 3y agoDenmark doesn't have employer taxes, unlike the rest of Europe, making salaries look much larger.
