Is 25,000 DKK a month a decent wage for Denmark?

Depends where you want to live, and how you want to live. As long as you're not in Copenhagen, and out every night, 2.5k/month should be ok I'd have thought.
Back on 3 on 3 off?

Queer c*nt yay mind 2 on 4 off actually. I don't work IN Denmark, just for a Danish company.
Top work if you can get it. Anar who you work for man, we’ve talked about it before. You out drilling or plugging atm?

If gross pay: No - even on the 25% expert tax it’s quite low.
If it’s net: Yes, that’s above average
Of course it depends on your skills - it’s the starting gross salary of a policeman fresh from school.
Won’t get you long in Copenhagen, but as mentioned by others, if it’s outside the bigger cities you can have a nice life. The tax scheme has a lot to say too - don’t forget!

Granted the Danes get hammered in tax but they don’t half get it back in terms of decent public services.

Correct. Great place to live - I'm sometimes amazed at the levels of the NHS here.
25000 is about average take home pay. You'd be skint constantly if that was gross.

The median gross pay per hour is 25,60 pounds, if that helps. A normal working month is 162,5 hours and you get 5/6 weeks paid vacation or 12,5-15% of your salary on top of that. There's also a 3% mandatory pension contribution paid by the employer on top of the salary.
The first about 50000 DKK (=6k) there's hardly any tax to be paid - after that it's 40-49%
Again, if the job is in Copenhagen you should be paid above the average
