Answering for myself, living in 2300 Copenhagen in Islands Brygge
> accommodation prices
9,800kr per month, rental. Note that the cost of a rental really doesn't matter, because the demand is so high. You have to take whatever you can get, and it doesn't matter if it's too expensive or too far. You will never get to "choose" your apartment, unless your budget is above 20,000kr per month
> public transportation fares (tube, bus etc.)
I don't use it for commuting, so i have a pay as you go type card. 12kr for a 1 way, 2-zone trip (basically anywhere in the city).
> food prices (your monthly budget)
buying groceries- 100-150kr per day for 2 people is about our average, so about 3000-4000kr per month.
> health prices (for those who need medical insurance)
around 100dkk for prescriptions, other care mostly covered.
> education prices (if you need to pay)
> energy prices (oil, electricity)
250dkk per month for electricity
> common bills (Internet, television, telephone, mobile phone)
200kr internet, 200kr tv, 80kr per cell phone plan.
> price for a good menu in a traditional restaurant
150-200kr per person
> price for a coffee or a drink
20-40kr, beer 50-80 depending on the size
> price for cinema tickets
100kr
