How much does a Finnish intern get paid in Finland?

Hi all, i'm conducting a research for my study, and one of the questions of it is how much a intern (from Finland, not a foreigner) will receive for an internship in Finland. I understand some internships don't pay at all in Finland. So if a company wants to hire an intern, how much should they pay them per month? Please provide some sources with a useable answer otherwise i won't be able to use it

I'm asking this because there really isn't any good information on Internet regarding this.
Best regards,
a 4th year business student from the Netherlands.

I've seen some getting 0 €/month. Others have gotten: 800-1000 €/month

Thanks for those reactions, helped me out a lot already! 1000 euro a month sure is a lot, interns in Netherlands/Germany only get about 500-600 a month normally

Probably depends a lot of the field. Heavily unionized fields won't look for long 1000e salaries. Collective agreements might have set percentages for trainee wages.

Ok, does anyone of you by chance now the situation in Norway? Is it any different then in Finland? Norway is also really hard to find online
