Tax, net salary and lifestyle planning before the candidate says yes
Highly qualified international candidates rarely turn down opportunities because of the job itself.
More often, they hesitate because they cannot answer one simple question:
“Can my family build the life we want in Denmark?”
Will the salary be enough?
Can we afford the home we want?
What about schools?
Healthcare?
My spouse?
Our hobbies?
Can we travel home?
Until these questions have realistic answers, accepting an international position feels like taking a financial and personal risk.
Our role is to remove that uncertainty.
Before a candidate accepts an international position, they need more than a salary offer—they need confidence in the life they are about to build.
At Relocare, we begin with a detailed introduction to Danish taxation, the candidate’s expected tax position, relevant international tax principles and social security obligations. Based on the proposed salary and the individual’s circumstances, we calculate the expected net salary and explain how the overall tax and social security framework will affect the assignment.
From there, we move beyond the numbers.
Together with the candidate and their family, we assess the real cost of the life they want to build in Denmark. This may include housing, utilities, insurance, childcare or schools, transportation, leisure activities, spouse career opportunities, healthcare needs and travel to visit family and friends in their home country.
The result is not a generic cost-of-living report. It is a personalised financial and lifestyle assessment that enables both the employer and the candidate to make informed decisions based on realistic expectations and the family’s own priorities.
Rather than providing generic cost-of-living reports, we create an individual assessment based on the candidate’s own expectations and lifestyle.
For one family, international schools may be the deciding factor.
For another, it could be sailing.
Horse riding.
Healthcare.
Or simply finding the best craft beer in town.
Every family is different.
Their decision support should be too.
Our service begins before the employment.
Through an individual meeting with the candidate and family, we build a complete picture of the life they want to create in Denmark.
We calculate:
Every calculation is based on the family’s own priorities—not average statistics.

During the meeting we don’t just talk about life in Denmark.
We show it.
Together with the candidate we can explore the costs and the options for:
By the end of the session, candidates have a realistic picture of both their expected income and the lifestyle it can support.
Instead of uncertainty, they leave with confidence.
Companies gain candidates who understand exactly what they are accepting.
Candidates gain realistic expectations.
Families gain peace of mind.
This reduces declined offers, improves retention and creates a far better foundation for successful international assignments.
International recruitment is rarely won by offering the highest salary.
It is won by helping people make confident decisions.
Our Candidate Attraction & Decision Support service gives candidates the clarity they need while providing employers with a stronger foundation for attracting and retaining international talent.
Our specialists help international candidates understand the complete picture—not only their salary, but the life they can build.
By combining tax, net salary calculations and personalised lifestyle planning, we help employers attract global talent while giving candidates the confidence to say yes.
