Hi,
Somehow Dutch people don't like to talk about the taxes. Well, it's not my favorite theme but I would like to know what an Net salary I (or my GF) can expect.
my GF is working on a 0 hour no rights contract - minimum salary of course as she doens't spek dutch...at least she got a job.
She earns brutto 8,5 Euro per hour. Is it correct that the employer will reduce this 8,5 Euro per hour by 1.95 % taxes and 31.25% social security contributions?
That means she will get less than 5.70 Euro per hour?? And has to pay from this a private-public health insurance, overpriced rents, etc...?
Are this calculations correct? Is there a possibility of a tax refund? Is it true, that in the Netherlands people pay more than 30 % social shit contributions from the first earnd euro? It's great for us as we don't get any benefits as migrants anyway...
Here what i've found on the web (source Wikipedia)
For 2012, income tax for persons under 65 is as follows:
For the part of income up to 18,945: 1.95%; tax on 18,945 is 369
For the part of income between 18,945 and 33,863: 10.8%; tax on 14,909 is 1610
For the part of income between 33,863 and 56,491 : 42%; tax on 22,628 is 9,503
On all income over 56,491 : 52%
For 2012, the total tax on income (income tax plus mandatory pension, social security and state funded medical care payments, all of which are a percentage of income up to a maximum) for persons under 65 is as follows:
For the part of income up to 18,945: 33.1%; tax on 18,945 is 6,271
For the part of income between 18,945 and 33,863: 41.95%; tax on 14,909 is 6,258
For the part of income between 33,863 and 55,491: 42%; tax on 22,628 is 9,504
