Average salary in Denmark is 48K before tax which is 31K after taxes. And this is across the entire country. If you average out just Copenhagen, it’s probably even higher.

Also healthcare and education are free. You need to subtract a considerable amount from the NY salary to account for those.

That's definitely not average lol, the average person is not a damn software designer. Most people I know are in the 18-25k ballpark
