My husband has just been offered a job in Copenhagen as a Technical Manager for a shipping company. His salary after tax will be 28000 dkk. We also have to rent an apartment with this money. I think this amount is quite low but what do I know? Any comments would be appreciated.

Hello
Have you received any replies? We are moving next week with a slightly higher salary (30000) and our impression is that it should work. Of course depends on many things. Do you have children? Will you have a car? etc etc...
Where will you live?
Best

Hi. I haven't received any replies. No we do not have children. We have just found an apartment for 13000 dkk (including utilities). I don't know if we will buy a car. We want to see if we can live comfortably off this amount first. May I ask a bit about your situation?

You should do fine i guess. As i said entirely depends on how to live your daily life. If you like to eat out too often, you spent too much for instance. We wont have a car until we see if we can live properly as we have a child which introduces extra for childcare. we do not have an house yet, where did you find it by the way? Normally, we have the experience from our previous expat life, the rent should not be more than one third of the total net income and i have the impression that Denmark is no exception.

So, what did you do? We are here on similar terms. We live in the northern suburbs to save money. Things are cheaper in the suburbs, just like they would be in the USA. Even movie tickets are a little cheaper.
Try Nivå or Humlebæk for much cheaper housing, both of which have rail service to downtown Copenhagen. They have nice beaches too.
