Netherlands Coverage
Source-backed employee estimate for 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31.
Calculation assumptions
- Full-year Dutch tax and national-insurance resident aged 18-65 throughout 2026, ordinary employee, no children, no other income, Box 2/3 income or cross-border work.
- Annual gross is total ordinary taxable salary including holiday pay; no employee occupational-pension deductions or taxable benefits. Use this profile only if your employment has no employee pension payment.
- Box 1 includes both income tax and national-insurance premiums: the first band combines 8.10% tax with 27.65% national insurance. These premiums are included in the tax total and are not charged twice as employee contributions.
- General and employment tax credits use the official 2026 formula tables. Credits are non-refundable and limited to the combined Box 1 charge.
- Enter your actual annual basic health-insurance premium. It is a separate cash expense, not an income-tax deduction or a payroll withholding. Net shown is after this entered premium.
- Employer Zvw is 6.10% up to EUR79,409 and does not reduce take-home. Other employer insurance premiums vary and are excluded.
- Annual formula estimate rounded to cents. Statutory whole-euro assessment and payroll-table rounding can differ by a few euros; this is not exact loonheffing.
