weeell what this news dont cover is that during a master or "Candidate" is considers the standard. Most students study for 5 years (bachelors take 3 years and then the candidate takes 2 years). Also, our current liberal government have considered making the student welfare benefit (SU) into a loan which there is a lot of debate going around. also, your comment about "socialism in a capitalistic country" is pretty accurate. As a (mostly) social-democratic society there is free market with private enterprise but the government takes care of health, education, the elderly and the unemployed for the most part. unlike the USA, the UK there are no minimum wages that is dictated by law, but there is an extensive tradition of a collective bargain and strong origination of both workers and employers in their respective organisations.
@@beo191 No. The student loan is an option, not a requirement. An average student that have applied for a student loan owes 65000 kr (10000$) after their education. The SU is not included in the debt. Try facts instead of feelings, like sane people. Your condition is irrelevant, but i still feel sorry for you.
Makes sense to get everybody equal access to education. Even though it has to be costly it seems like the better idea in the long run to educate as much of the population as possible in order for them to get higher paid jobs and earning more money nationally and internationally in order for the state to get higher amounts through taxes.
Im allso from Finland, but i would rather study overpriced in USA, because in Finland they force you to study swedish. I would rather pay for my education than fail at Finnish school because of some stupid language i will never need.
When I studied abroad in Germany for a semester it amazed me that the government gave me a monthly stipend to help cover costs of living, provided me with free transit use anywhere in the Federal State and half off anywhere in the country, subsidized most the cost of cafeteria food so I ended up paying like 2 euros to eat on campus, and provided subsidized excursions to Brussels, Cologne, the Eifel region, and a wine tasting on the Mosel... Meanwhile in the US I was forced into a meal plan that came out to $10 a meal for some of the crappiest food ever (somedays just drank water there was nothing good to eat), no stipend to help cover living costs, and no subsidized fun and educational trips. Ended up with over $100k in debt all for a pretty lackluster college and Grad school experience.
Hi everybody! I'm form Hungary and I have been in Denmark in 13 years now. My opinion about this is that it is totally worth it! And "more tax" is just one side of the story.
I don't understand the usage of Denmark in this film. In Scotland we get the same. No tuition fees, and a bursury is provided to majority of students. Yet we still pay the same tax of 20% as the rest of the UK. Unless you're in the top margin where you pay 43%. I just want to ask why they didn't use Scotland as an example as it is easier to ask the question "Why can then get this, but we can't?"
This is EXTREMELY simplified and only focuses only on education in terms of taxes. We get a lot more covered by taxes like paternity leave, healthcare, unemployment support and much much more. So comparing taxes by countries using this video is not a great idea.
The Danish welfare state is, among other things, based on the concept of citizens having equal access to the different services paid for by taxes. I understand why they used this video, as Denmark pay a lot higher taxes than any other country in Europe. Everyone must be able to get help in situations, such as unemployment or illness. All children must attend school and have the possibility of completing an education. All citizens must have access to information and guidance (for example from libraries and media). The public sector provides numerous services.
Our taxes cover school, healthcare and a lot of other things. Plus our salaries are extremely high so the taxes are not a bother. Social democracy and free market cannot be beaten.
I would pay all the money I have left after I get myself everything that I need in taxes if it went to system that was built, maintained and upgraded with the best interests of all people in mind and not bs and military.
I think the difference between the UK and Denmark,is Denmark is happy paying,taxes and get's something back in doing so.And free education is something that Danes take pride in.Along with their health service,Housing and looking forward too the future. As The UK just has that old backward Victorian 80's way of doing thing's,not happy in paying taxes and get's nothing but garbage when they pay.Are Health service is in shambles,Homelessness,Putting drug addicts in Houses than giving them proper help.And Scotland's model is not what it all seem strings come with it and does not go far as Denmark's model.Brexit should be a time for change looking too the future but the more we look it just trip back in too the past and the richer getting richer.
Do we though, really? How many people do you know that have actually paid their SF loan back? University courses are basically free in the UK because you only pay back small amounts once you earn over 21(?)k /year and not many people do.. And after 30 years it gets wiped anyway..
And if you have a change of mind on what you want to read, alot of people in Denmark have several educations, maybe that's what adds to their happiness the freedom and safety of knowing you can become what ever you want when you want, and not be stuck with something you liked 3 years ago, but dosent speak to you anymore.
My niece is married to an American who originally came to Scandinavia to study (for free). He's now two university degrees. His parents are very well off to say the least, so they could easily have put him through college and uni. He just wanted to experience the world outside the US. They now have two kids and are prob never moving to the US. Very intelligent guy.
denmark here. do not forget the tax rates we pay. we begin at 36% plus 8% which goes to a starting tax rate of 46%, next tier is 43 +8 and next is 51+ 8. so not only 36%, that's just part of the first tier tax level.
It's similar in Germany, But they try not to pay you it, wiggle around and try to find any loop hole. Unless you come from a rich family then you're good
Yeah... middle class is fucked basically. Only money I ever got from the government when I studied was 170€ a month (for 6 months) when I was on my ERASMUS semester. Thankfully, my grandparents paid for my degree though. And uni is not nearly as expensive here as it is in the UK. Think 500€ max (!) per semester. Probably closer to 350.
But, keep in mind, uni isnt free in Denmark. Yes going there is, but supplies (for projects) and books are still Hella fkn expensive because of the high taxes in Denmark.
You get what you pay for with tax. If the Scandinavian countries are anything to go by, it makes a noticeable difference to what you get in return if you pay more. But, the rich here want to pay as little as possible, as they generally don’t use the services it pays for.
Well as a high earner and coming from a family of high earners. Dad - surgeon aunt - senior doctor, mom business owner, uncle CEO of multimillion company. They have taught me that if you want a healthy functional society then of course high earners need to pay more. And from a business perspective if you have access to healthy high educated people that are not stressed out because of debt and basically are forced into a corner of survival. They are 40% more productive and efficient.
Ok I m estranged student (no financial supported) so Denmark ensures salaries???? Jesus I love this country that s why they are highly educated. System is working, students feel safety.
I really want to study in Denmark, but the cost of living is so high. I don't think it is possible for me to do a two year masters course without saving some big money first. Although the fact we are leaving the EU will now mean that we will have to start paying tuition fees if we wanted to study in Denmark as of next year...
Giving an exact minimum Danish tax rate is not possible since it is a progressive income tax system, making the rate income dependent. It is quite difficult to explain, but the following can be broadly applied: - The first £5.000 of yearly income is not taxed - If you are employed then another 9.5% of yearly earnings is not taxed (until reaching a max of £3900 not being taxed yearly) - If employed and a single parent and provider for your child/children, then in addition another 6% of yearly earnings is not taxed (until reaching a max of £2.500 not being taxed yearly) - Once the above mentioned has been added up, then anything between the above not taxed amounts and the first £58.700 of your yearly income is taxed approximately 40% - Anything earned above £58.700 yearly is then taxed approximately 52% Although it becomes much more complicated then this with deductibles etc.
As usual, it is mentioned that in Denmark you pay more in taxes than most other countries. What you also "forget" and mention as usual is what Danes get for their tax money. Free medical care, no hospital expenses, free ambulance, free school system; - all the way. Medical support, free specialists or support for specialists, 6 weeks paid holiday ect.ect. Is it expensive compared to other countries?
I almost died when I read the thumbnail. It will cost me over $200,000 dollars to go to my dream school, or ~$147,220 for the (relatively) "cheaper" school. I am coming to grips with the fact that I will probably _never_ pay off my student loans once I get them. I'm 16, so it's still a few years away. But the notion of getting paid to go to university is extremely appealing. I may just have to consider some schools over there... even if I didn't get paid, it'd be much cheaper regardless.
@@kristiyanivanov7414 Ended up going to a high-quality, mid-price Midwestern university. Wanted to stay close to home because my parents are on the older side
'An expensive hidden side' this is no secret. Everything in this world comes at a cost, nothing is free. Why would it be any different there. But the comfort of paying more in taxes knowing that myself, my family and my fellow countrymen all have a healthcare system, and a shot at getting a quality education. I know this may come as a surprise to many, but your empathy is able to extend beyond your imediate family, we all deserve to have a better life.
We do have high taxes however we are free to migrate to a low tax country. It's a pretty good deal for us Scandinavians and we can always relocate to another country with low tax after having obtained out free education. Quite a few of us do relocate but the majority of those who relocate will return back home with international relations and experience which again brings value to the society
And then I am hating on the Dutch parliament because they changed the system of getting money to study and getting better school environments. We as students need to pay more but did get almost nothing back and the tax rates didn't change/didn't change a lot. I wish it would go back to how it is in Danmark more.
It might be worth mentioning that we don't pay taxes of everything we earn! It differs from person to person, but I don't pay any taxes on the first £470 pounds I earn.... I'm a student right now, and my stipend is £550 a month, so I only pay the 38% tax on the last £80...
And here I am in India. I pay 42k rupees as my tuition fees. Another student from my class pays 13 rupees. Yes, 13 rupees. Because he is from reserved class.
some use our high taxes a lot in arguments as a bad thing, but me as a dane loveee the taxes and the opportunities we get because of them and it’s really those that’s the main factor in our welfare system which is on top. so yes i would pay even higher if needed cuz the society is more important than the independent human itself. it’s creates equality and we get even more than we give, it’s so worth it.. at least to the normal non selfish human. it really lifts a burden off your shoulders i would say. i definitely think it would do amazing for so many countries, they just needa open their eyes up for it.. like the us for example
In Denmark the average tax rate is higher than in England, but what it seems is that the money paid by the Danish taxpayers is applied with appropriate criteria. Denmark it is a country where it seems there is practically no corruption, and therefore taxpayers and Danish society have the fair return on your tax contribution. I do not speak for England, but there are countries where the average tax rate is higher and this fair withdrawal does not occur and where students have to pay tuition fees for their university studies.
I mean the people who paid the tax can paid their tax so I don’t see a issue especially if it is to help the young generation at least danish People knows where their money go I seriously wouldn’t mind at all
It isn't even a competition, of course, I would pay 50% in taxes to Denmark if my children's future is secured. It's far better than paying taxes in a country where there is no such assurance(no healthcare, no free education, no government support) whatsoever.
Yes :-) - BUT IN AMERICA THEY cannot afford it - they use their tax to overly equip the military and then there's not enough tax relief for the billionaires :-(
I have a big believer in paying more taxes to help the NHS, pensions and university tuition fees. No I do not think they should be paid to go to university.
I never understood why high tax seems to be a problem. We have high salary as well, so in the end we have more then enough income to live for. PLUS we get the benefits of all the thing tax covers. Infact as far i have noticed most people i know from other contries have LESS left over money for "fun" compared to their countries income and expenses then i do after paying danish tax.
@Kim Kardashian Un - Sorry, but even here in Denmark, people live from month to month. So you do have to fear about making the ends meet. This is a very expensive country to live in AND we pay high taxes, so there's always that worry here too.
@Kim Kardashian Un - I don't think i said anything about the tax being unfairly high, or that they where higher than in the 60s US? I just answered a question about how high the tax actually is and how much I pay as a student ? ;)
You do know that just because it says 50%, doesn`t mean that people pay that? There are some things called decuctions. An working class/middleclass dane pay in averidge between 35-37% look it up
3 You see? King Jehoshaphat was alone with God but he wanted to fellowship with somebody to put an end to his loneliness. He was bored as for his natural life. He knew that the kings of the churches around were idolaters and declared enemies of God. But, he wanted nevertheless a friend and he found him in the person of Ahab, the only king who confessed the same God as him. But what happened? God got angry with Jehoshaphat! And the prophet cried out: "Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah …" You see? Should you help the ungodly? Should you love those who reject Jesus Christ, the Word of the hour? Had Jesus Christ in the flesh fellowshipped with the Pharisees who rejected his Message? You see?
you can earn points in various ways, to be considered a position in a university. Depends on How much you want it, I would say. But if you're not Danish, I would suggest some years abroad, maybe? I know alot of danes would be happy to get foreigners into our country.
Denmark is good because no one immigrates to Denmark. If people moved there as much as they moved to the UK, US and Germany. Their country would go to shit just like Cali and everything would become expensive and taxes would become even HIGHER. Then you will have a soviet style rationing of food.
Just dont forget, nothing is ever free and danes are among the highest taxed people in a western country including swedes. They pay MUCH more in taxes than the british but we get this in return, so it's not a bad deal if it provides free healthcare, education and other social benefits.
Immigrating to Denmark is easy, and we have alot of benifits for emigrants. Danish emigrants from countries where there is war (like Syria) can actually get payed arround 30000$ by the Danish goverment, if they move back to there country.
You forgot to mention that salaries in Denmark are higher and rent is cheaper.
higher salary = more tax

- Once the above mentioned has been added up, then anything between the above not taxed amounts and the first £58.700 of your yearly income is taxed approximately 40%
- Anything earned above £58.700 yearly is then taxed approximately 52%
Although it becomes much more complicated then this with deductibles etc.
The 36 % tax is before you count in your deductions, so if you many things you can deduct & a low income you can get much lower than that.
As usual, it is mentioned that in Denmark you pay more in taxes than most other countries. What you also "forget" and mention as usual is what Danes get for their tax money.

But the notion of getting paid to go to university is extremely appealing. I may just have to consider some schools over there... even if I didn't get paid, it'd be much cheaper regardless.
Hey! What did you choose in the end? Interested in how all turned out for you!
@@kristiyanivanov7414 Ended up going to a high-quality, mid-price Midwestern university. Wanted to stay close to home because my parents are on the older side
@@TheConfuzzledCatEveryone else should pay for your ticket to a higher income
What's up with tax when your bottom line is better? The video is actually misleading
'An expensive hidden side' this is no secret. Everything in this world comes at a cost, nothing is free. Why would it be any different there. But the comfort of paying more in taxes knowing that myself, my family and my fellow countrymen all have a healthcare system, and a shot at getting a quality education. I know this may come as a surprise to many, but your empathy is able to extend beyond your imediate family, we all deserve to have a better life.
Amazing! We can only watch and learn from you guys!
I would like to attend University in Denmark or at least a summer first to slowly adapt to lifestyle.
In the Philippines, Filipinos PAY TAX to give it to Politicians.
London is obviously more expensive. It 's way bigger than Copenhagen
To quote a much worn out saying... Size dosen't matter... ;-)
We do have high taxes however we are free to migrate to a low tax country. It's a pretty good deal for us Scandinavians and we can always relocate to another country with low tax after having obtained out free education. Quite a few of us do relocate but the majority of those who relocate will return back home with international relations and experience which again brings value to the society
and not only free education. We also get free healthcare.
And then I am hating on the Dutch parliament because they changed the system of getting money to study and getting better school environments. We as students need to pay more but did get almost nothing back and the tax rates didn't change/didn't change a lot. I wish it would go back to how it is in Danmark more.
Word
Same in Sweden. We get both a free and a paid loan
It might be worth mentioning that we don't pay taxes of everything we earn! It differs from person to person, but I don't pay any taxes on the first £470 pounds I earn.... I'm a student right now, and my stipend is £550 a month, so I only pay the 38% tax on the last £80...
Danish people are beautiful! Love them♥️♥️♥️
It's how it used to be and they still don't pay university fees in Scotland.
Really? Is Scotland (I've been there btw) comparable to the Nordic countries regarding the topic of this video?
From 🇩🇰
And here I am in India.
I pay 42k rupees as my tuition fees. Another student from my class pays 13 rupees. Yes, 13 rupees. Because he is from reserved class.
yes, I am definitely willing to pay the higher tax fee in order to get more conveniences and free high-level education, as the video said.
Please, can someone at age of 28years still apply for Bachelors degree, as an international student to Denmark
Yeah, but It will only be for free if u are a EU citizen
Why didn't they include national insurance as part of the taxes.. that takes people up to 32% (ish)
Is included :-)
Hello good people can someone please answer me if I get pay if I come to Denmak to study in Collegue?
I should've been born in Denmark..
some use our high taxes a lot in arguments as a bad thing, but me as a dane loveee the taxes and the opportunities we get because of them and it’s really those that’s the main factor in our welfare system which is on top. so yes i would pay even higher if needed cuz the society is more important than the independent human itself. it’s creates equality and we get even more than we give, it’s so worth it.. at least to the normal non selfish human. it really lifts a burden off your shoulders i would say. i definitely think it would do amazing for so many countries, they just needa open their eyes up for it.. like the us for example
In Denmark the average tax rate is higher than in England, but what it seems is that the money paid by the Danish taxpayers is applied with appropriate criteria. Denmark it is a country where it seems there is practically no corruption, and therefore taxpayers and Danish society have the fair return on your tax contribution. I do not speak for England, but there are countries where the average tax rate is higher and this fair withdrawal does not occur and where students have to pay tuition fees for their university studies.
My answer would be yes. I think it may be also psychological the idea of higher taxes and free schooling to stimulate studying more
I wish I live in Denmark
You are welcome to come to my country when the virus have died down
Well 20 years ago. Brits did not have to pay tuition fees either and received £3000 one off...cant remember the name
NOT EVERYONE GETS 720 BTW
Where´s my Danish gang at.
One correction: students from European background don’t need to pay tuition fees but students from non European background have to.
Fucking wished they will do this in holland soon enough.
Love from Indian. Great Demark
So proud to be Danish
Many countries are like this, even Saudi Arabia .... yeah can u imagine
Yes, in Saudi Arabia. But what is it worth when they do not use their studies as adults and everybody working have been imported?
I mean the people who paid the tax can paid their tax so I don’t see a issue especially if it is to help the young generation at least danish People knows where their money go I seriously wouldn’t mind at all
It isn't even a competition, of course, I would pay 50% in taxes to Denmark if my children's future is secured. It's far better than paying taxes in a country where there is no such assurance(no healthcare, no free education, no government support) whatsoever.
Lol in Scandinavia you get paid for study in Germany you have to pay to go to school and we have world record tax, that’s fact.
After all we prefer Germany here in azerbaijan. Better career opportunities for talents. Germany has wide range of anything in all fields
Im from Denmark its great but small:)
its a small country but its anything but great
dude we got greenland. we are the 12 biggest country.
How about denmark vs germany???
Czech Republic and Hungary also have it for free
Yes :-) - BUT IN AMERICA THEY cannot afford it - they use their tax to overly equip the military and then there's not enough tax relief for the billionaires :-(
Oh, higher taxes, what a nightmare
Well we do get alot from it
I have a big believer in paying more taxes to help the NHS, pensions and university tuition fees. No I do not think they should be paid to go to university.
I never understood why high tax seems to be a problem. We have high salary as well, so in the end we have more then enough income to live for. PLUS we get the benefits of all the thing tax covers.
Infact as far i have noticed most people i know from other contries have LESS left over money for "fun" compared to their countries income and expenses then i do after paying danish tax.
Denmark generates a lot of wealth & they can afford to waste money on political programs
Are the taxes really that high
Yes some pay 65%
It is actually higher. I pay 39% and I’m a student and work about 8 hours a week besides that. If you earn a lot you have to pay 50% tax!
@Kim Kardashian Un - Sorry, but even here in Denmark, people live from month to month. So you do have to fear about making the ends meet. This is a very expensive country to live in AND we pay high taxes, so there's always that worry here too.
@Kim Kardashian Un - I don't think i said anything about the tax being unfairly high, or that they where higher than in the 60s US? I just answered a question about how high the tax actually is and how much I pay as a student ? ;)
You do know that just because it says 50%, doesn`t mean that people pay that? There are some things called decuctions. An working class/middleclass dane pay in averidge between 35-37% look it up
3 You see? King Jehoshaphat was alone with God but he wanted to fellowship with somebody to put an end to his loneliness. He was bored as for his natural life. He knew that the kings of the churches around were idolaters and declared enemies of God. But, he wanted nevertheless a friend and he found him in the person of Ahab, the only king who confessed the same God as him. But what happened? God got angry with Jehoshaphat! And the prophet cried out: "Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate Jehovah? Therefore is wrath upon thee from Jehovah …" You see? Should you help the ungodly? Should you love those who reject Jesus Christ, the Word of the hour? Had Jesus Christ in the flesh fellowshipped with the Pharisees who rejected his Message? You see?
i just wish i had the opportunity to a university lol
you can earn points in various ways, to be considered a position in a university. Depends on How much you want it, I would say. But if you're not Danish, I would suggest some years abroad, maybe? I know alot of danes would be happy to get foreigners into our country.
Denmark is good because no one immigrates to Denmark. If people moved there as much as they moved to the UK, US and Germany. Their country would go to shit just like Cali and everything would become expensive and taxes would become even HIGHER. Then you will have a soviet style rationing of food.
informative and shorter than other you-tubers...👌👌👌
What fee?
Just dont forget, nothing is ever free and danes are among the highest taxed people in a western country including swedes. They pay MUCH more in taxes than the british but we get this in return, so it's not a bad deal if it provides free healthcare, education and other social benefits.
They pay more tax but thy have good roads, good healthcare etc
There is a age limit
It's the same in all the Nordic countries.
Please tell me how I want to come to Denmark from Bangladesh
Immigrating to Denmark is easy, and we have alot of benifits for emigrants. Danish emigrants from countries where there is war (like Syria) can actually get payed arround 30000$ by the Danish goverment, if they move back to there country.
YASS! Denmark ❤️🇩🇰
And we look better!
Here in India people spend their fathers property to *study* look how world is unevenly divided
USA: Meh.. Students! Pay me!
That's good! But would the Danish government pay even to non EU students ? Like Asians etc...??
Education should be free
ye teachers should just work for free.
Move when you graduate. Duh!
