What is the average wage in Denmark for non-skilled workers?

As the question suggests "How much do low skilled workers get paid per hour in Denmark?"

I know that people on here cant be precise but this is why i have said average.

My definition of "non-skilled" includes basic work in retail ... i.e. Shop workers, Cafe Workers, Checkout workers, Receptionists @ hotels, working in pubs..... etc ...etc

Can ANYONE out there tell me on AVERAGE how much they get paid! This is my third time posting this question and no one has given me a sensible answer. I need to know the answer to this PLEASE!

And someone posted me an answer with the average being £10 per hour? This sounds a lot or is it about right ... PLEASE ANSWERS please !

i own a cleaning business...we pay 120 kr per hour and minimum wage in dk is 109 per hour. U will have to speak danish at any other job then this or a waiter if u are lucky. They are strict on that until u learn danish. Housing is expensive in the big cities but you can always find a roommate in teh papers and search for lower rent apartments in the papers as well. U just have to research once u get there. Outside of the cities is where it will be cheaper.

Tusind Tak!

Your answers deserve the best answer title. Many thanks
Aubrey, is that gross or neto paycheck? I mean 120 kr an hour comes to around 19.200 kr a month (around 2.500 €), and that's a lot of money. But is this taxed already? Beacuse i heard the tax on paychek is around 50% in Denmark? So that would then come to around 1.250 €.

Thanks for the answer.

Actually the tax is around 45%,but if you have submitted a double household document,they can give you a free cort (or free you of tax) and then 19 000 is a pretty normal salary.Otherwise you receive 12000/13000 per month.
