How your tax is calculated
Box 1 income is taxed at 36.97% up to €75,518 and 49.5% above that. National insurance premiums are already included in those rates. Tax credits (algemene heffingskorting and arbeidskorting) and the 30% ruling are not applied here, so the real take-home is usually a little higher. Your marginal rate is 37% — every additional €1 you earn keeps roughly €0.63 after tax and premiums.
