The 2024 plan to step the ruling down to 20% then 10% was reversed: for 2026 it stays a flat 30% tax-free for the full 5-year term, whichever year you're in.

Don't forget vakantiegeld (holiday allowance)

Dutch employers must pay at least 8% of your gross salary as holiday allowance, usually €6,000/year on this salary, paid as a lump sum around May. Many job ads quote gross pay excluding this, so check whether the figure you were offered already includes it.

Gross salary€75,000

Taxable income (Box 1)€52,500
Box 1 tax before credits-€19,015
General tax credit (algemene heffingskorting)€1,659

Net take-home (annual)€62,879

Calculations use 2026 Box 1 rates (35.75% / 37.56% / 49.50%) and assume standard working-age employment. The 30% ruling is modelled as a flat 30% tax-free allowance for the full 5-year term (the previously legislated 30-20-10 step-down was reversed for 2026); it drops to a flat 27% from 2027 onward, which this calculator does not model. Eligibility for the ruling (recruitment from abroad, specific-expertise salary threshold, prior residency distance test) is not verified by this tool. Includes the 2026 general tax credit (algemene heffingskorting) and labour tax credit (arbeidskorting). Does not account for the health insurance premium you pay your insurer, pension contributions, or Box 2/3 income. For precise advice consult a Dutch tax adviser or the Belastingdienst.

Permanent salary or contract?

Permanent median

€ 75.000

€ 51.523 take-home

Contract median

€ 591/day

≈ € 130.020 gross a year

At a median € 591/day, contract work grosses about € 130.020 a year over 220 billable days, 73% more than the € 75.000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.

Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See Data Product Manager contract rates and contractor take-home →
