I would say the compensation package is on a company to company basis in any county. Being an American who lived in Denmark and I am married to a Dane, I can tell you that your taxes on a premium salary will be 65%. You have to be creative with your tax right offs, which most Danes find great sport in working around the SKAT man, rent is extremely high in most places, food is expensive, travel is expensive, clothes are expensive, going out to dinner you almost never do because it is sooooo expensive and the service most times is lousy due to the fact that the servers are paid a high fee so they don't work for tips, so they really don't care. I hope your company is going to assist you and your family with the immigration process because that is a whole other ball of wax so to say and that process is very tricky! If you have children, and they are in school age, it will do you best to find an extremely good international school, or home school them and find other means for their socialization skill building. It is not a foreigner friendly country at all, matter of fact, I truly believe Danes are perfectly fine with people not immigrating to their country. Up side is free health care, down side is free health care....if you are o.k. with being in hospitals that have not been revamped since the 50s (or older) and dealing with medical staff that will never remember your name because you will never see the same Dr. twice, than it is great for you. I am sure some people would say Denmark is a great country to live in, but I will say as an American who did live their, I am EXTREMELY HAPPY to back in the good ole USofA!!!
