- Masters graduates (in engineering and other natural sciences) and other members with long-cycle post-secondary degrees DKK 39,800
- Bachelors graduates, graduates of diploma degree programmes and other members with medium-cycle post-secondary degrees DKK 37,900
Comparison of salary statistics from IDA and DI
IDA’s analysis department has compared the statistics from IDA and Confederation of Danish Industry (DI). The conclusion is that the salary levels for engineers are practically identical in the statistics from DI and IDA respectively.
If your employer calls IDA’s salary statistics into question, claiming that they rather indicate the trade union’s wishful thinking, you may assure them that IDA’s salary statistics are very reliable.
