Hi,

I am currently living in Germany and have been offered a job in Copenhagen.
My employer says, the monthy salary would be 53K DKK and a pension contribution of 2% which will be deducted from salary.
My wife is currently a student in an University and has no income.
As danish tax system seems very complicated to understand. Can someone please let me know what my net salary would be?

2 % pension contribution isn't much. Most general pension scheme is 5 % to the employee, 10 % to the employer.
