What these figures are, and what they are not
Your employer withholds loonheffing from each pay: wage tax and the national insurance premiums (AOW, Anw and Wlz) as one amount, on the Belastingdienst's table for your pay period. The table takes your pay for the period up to a year, rounds it down to a step of the table, charges it on the year's bands, takes off the loonheffingskorting — the algemene heffingskorting and, on pay from work, the arbeidskorting — and divides what is left back into the period, rounded to the cent.
The year is your rate times your hours times the weeks of a year, so it is an even year of those hours, paid monthly. Your own payslips can differ: a week of overtime is paid at a rate this page does not know, and a week you do not work is not paid at all.
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.
How is an hourly wage taxed in the Netherlands?
The same way as a salary. Your employer withholds loonheffing from each pay on the Belastingdienst's table for your pay period. This page works out a full, even year of the hours you give it and divides that year back into an hour, a week and a month.
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.
