Common questions
How is loonheffing worked out in the Netherlands?
Under the AOW age, the first band to €38,883 is charged at 35.75%: that is 8.1% wage tax plus the AOW, Anw and Wlz premiums of 17.9%, 0.1% and 9.65%. Pay above it is charged at 37.56% to €78,426 and 49.5% above that. Your employer looks the charge up in the Belastingdienst's table for your pay period, which works in steps of €54 of pay a year.
What is the loonheffingskorting?
The tax credits your employer sets off against the loonheffing on your pay, if you ask them to. Under the AOW age they are the algemene heffingskorting, up to €3,115 a year and less above €29,736, nothing from €78,426; and the arbeidskorting on pay from work, up to €5,685 and less above €45,592, nothing from €132,920. Only one employer may apply them, so a second job is withheld without them.
