Denmark is one of the most expensive places for expatriates to live. In the most recent edition of a cost of living survey prepared by investment bank UBS, Copenhagen was found, on average, to have the second highest prices for expatriates worldwide. The cost of living in Copenhagen, according to the survey, is nearly 30 percent higher than in New York, the most expensive city in North America. Weakness in the US and Canadian dollars against the Euro has made Denmark even more expensive for expatriates from North America. However, even expatriates from the Euro Zone will find Denmark expensive.

Fortunately, salaries in Denmark are commensurate with the high cost of living. According to the UBS survey, average gross wages in Copenhagen are about 41 percent higher than in New York. Due to Denmark’s high tax rates, however, average net wages are only 14 percent higher than New York.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Denmark guide.
