Netherlands Salary Calculator
Enter your gross annual salary to see your wage tax, including the national insurance premiums, with the general tax credit and the labour tax credit applied. Results follow the 2026 box 1 rates for an employee below state pension age.
Worked example: €50,000 salary
Box 1 tax is 35.75% on the first €38,883 (€13,900.67) plus 37.56% on the remaining €11,117 (€4,175.55), a total of €18,076.22. The general tax credit is €1,818.51 and the labour tax credit is €5,398.04, so wage tax is €18,076.22 - €1,818.51 - €5,398.04 = €10,859.67. Take-home pay is €50,000 - €10,859.67 = €39,140.33 a year, or about €3,261.69 a month.
This example is checked against a hand-calculated test in our code. It assumes an employee below state pension age with no pension contribution and no children.
How we calculate this
This calculator applies the Dutch Tax Administration rates for box 1 in 2026: 35.75% up to €38,883 (which includes the AOW, Anw and Wlz premiums), 37.56% up to €78,426 and 49.50% above that. It then subtracts the general tax credit (up to €3,115, phasing out between €29,736 and €78,426) and the labour tax credit (up to €5,685, phasing out above €45,592). Pension contributions reduce taxable wages.
It is an estimate. It does not include the health insurance premium, which you pay to your insurer, children and the combination credit, the 30 percent ruling, people above state pension age, or the extra tax on a holiday allowance paid in a single month. Payslips are calculated with wage tax tables and can differ by a few euros. For an exact figure, consult your payroll provider or the Dutch Tax Administration.
