Isn't this article just plain wrong? These are nowhere near the after tax salaries, an average working Dutch person (even when excluding unemployed) is not grossing 9-10k a month with 6k euros net as this suggests. I think the article is confusing employer-side hourly labour costs with net earnings.
- roelschroeven 6mo agoIf you click the link to Eurostat in the article, you can see the numbers are "Wages and salaries (total)". So yes, that's the cost to the employer, which is much higher than the employees net income.
- lbreakjai 6mo agoThe median salary is around 48k in the Netherlands. That's 4k gross per month, no company is paying 5 to 6k of charges per employee per month.
- roelschroeven 6mo agoI don't know the exact situation in the Netherlands, but if it's anything like in Belgium the employer pays taxes on top of the employee's gross income. The total cost to the employer is therefore significantly higher than what the employee gets, even gross.
- lbreakjai 6mo agoEmployers pay taxes, but this calculator puts it as roughly 14k€ of costs for a 100k€ gross salary for the employee (Compared to 44k€ of costs in Belgium, which is why I left) https://www.deel.com/employee-cost-calculator/ https://www.deel.com/employee-cost-calculator/
