ABOUT THIS TOOL
How the net salary calculator works
What it estimates
Your net pay per month and per year from your gross salary, after Dutch wage tax and the standard tax credits, plus your effective tax rate.
How to read the result
Net per month is what reaches your bank account in a normal month. Tick holiday allowance if your 8% is paid out separately, so the yearly figure includes it.
Who it's for
Employees and expats in the Netherlands who want to compare job offers or check a payslip, without reading Dutch tax tables.
Good to know
It is an estimate for a standard employee. Your payslip can differ because of pension contributions, benefits in kind, the 30% ruling or other deductions.
Net salary questions
Quick answers about gross and net pay in the Netherlands.
What is the difference between bruto and netto?
Bruto is your gross salary before tax. Netto is what you receive after wage tax (loonheffing) and tax credits have been applied.
Does it include holiday allowance?
Only if you tick the option. Most Dutch employers pay 8% holiday allowance once a year, usually in May or June.
Why is my payslip different?
Your employer may deduct pension contributions or add benefits such as a lease car or travel allowance. The calculator uses standard wage tax only.
I also earn money as a freelancer. What then?
Freelance profit is taxed through your income tax return. Use the freelancer net income calculator, or keep your freelance books in Taxmo.
