kqbpo2rAt the current exchange rate it would be around $20 per hour. $24 for night shift/Sundays. And around $40 during national holidays.
6 weeks of vacation is correct. 5 are mandated by law.
You can certainly have a decent life. Things are expensive here, but you won't go to bed hungry or have trouble paying rent.
Taxes would end up at around 31-32% depending on which area you live in, so you'd have around 2200 USD after tax each month if you only work the daytime shift.

kqccm2wAnd can go to the doctor when you’re sick, injured, or in need of better mental health.
And can get pregnant and have full medical support. Even a home birth with a specially trained midwife.
And can have time with your kids.
And can afford childcare.
And can go to university based on your grades and not take out student loans.

kqcvhp4Also, we work 37 hours a week as a standard.

kqd37xgAnd can receive support if you're deemed to have a long-term reduction in work ability, be it physical, neurological, or mental (am on my way to Flexjob at the moment - I'd much rather go to a job for 16h a week and contribute than just sit on my ass all day every day doing nothing, or continually crashing and burning at a 37h job).

kqdaz7eHow'd you swing that? My case worker always rejects any suggestion of flexjob.

kqcxy4bAnd our system isn't rigged so you have to pay some company to do your impossible taxes.

kqeld10no, this is simply not true

kqe7n7eYou're overselling it, the wait list on mental health and psychiatry is years. Surgeries can also take years. Furthermore many students can't live on SU without taking loans on the side. While life in Denmark is easier than a lot of places (for now). it's certainly not as it has been.

kqe8nmoDenmark sucks when it comes to mental health, and most of it isn't covered under the public health insurance, i.e. a shrink is self funded, which is why many don't go.

kqez5qoI’ve explained myself in two other comments, but I will add that I did have to wait nine months for a private therapist.
It’s still miles better than many other places in the world.

kqcz85wI’ve never paid less than 39% tax at least. Where is 30% possible?
EliasReffstrup at 2024-02-14 08:41:59+00:00 ID:
kqd0fn2Tænker de regner frikort og fradrag med og så regner med 37t/u i dagstimerne.
yougobe at 2024-02-14 13:27:01+00:00 ID:
kqdqnvjOg så er momsen meget lavere i usa. I praksis er det vel også en forskel på næsten 20% i “skat”.
Danishmeat at 2024-02-14 08:41:22+00:00 ID:
kqd0dy7Det er når man regner bundfradraget med

kqczxklThen you must make a lot of money. When you talk about tax it makes sense to talk about effective tax rate. You'd have to earn around 63000kr (~$9000) per month to pay 39% before any non-work related deductibles.
