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.

What if…

• €70,000 instead? Your take-home rises by roughly €53/month — see €70,000 after tax.
• With a 5% pension contribution, your monthly take-home would be €3,443 but you'd save around €1,275 in income tax over the year.
• 10 hours of overtime a month at time-and-a-half would add about €320 to your monthly take-home.
