Denmark has a progressive Income tax percentage, so your tax depends on the income. It will typically start around 40% - 45% of the total income and can for high earners reach approx. 60% MARGINAL tax (not to be confused with total/average tax percentage). This is the sum of municipal, health (formerly regional) and state tax (as I assume you mean in Denmark in general - not Copenhagen as opposed to another municipality in Denmark)

Denmark differs from almost all other welfare states by having practically no social contributions paid by the employer (as the revenue comes in via the Income tax instead). This means that Salaries and Income taxes are relatively higher than in comparable countries. This asymmetry can in some cases make in quite advantageous to work in Denmark, but reside in a neighboring country.
