Your salary after tax Netherlands is obviously an important issue for every expat. As a highly skilled migrant, it is nice when you manage to keep as much salary as possible each month after tax is deducted.Â
To give knowledge migrants a helping hand, the Dutch government has decided to create the 30% ruling Netherlands. The question then becomes what exactly this one entails, when you qualify for it and what all you need to pay attention to.Â
At PAYSE, we have plenty of experience in arranging the 30% ruling. Every day, we ensure that expats are left with as much salary after tax in The Netherlands as possible. We are happy to tell you all about it.
The 30% ruling Netherlands is also known as the expat scheme. This is the scheme under which an employer may pay up to 30% of salary tax-free to a knowledge migrant. This is subject to certain conditions.Â
This is 30% of gross salary.
The idea behind this scheme is that it gives you, as a knowledge migrant, a certain compensation for the extra costs you incur because you have to stay outside the country you originally came from.Â
The 30% ruling Netherlands is not applicable to just anyone. So to maximise your salary after tax in the Netherlands, you do need to qualify for this ruling in the first place.Â
Basically, as the name suggests, the expat scheme is for expatriates. A key example is the skilled migrant. However, on top of that, there are a number of other conditions you have to meet.Â
Making use of the 30% ruling in the Netherlands yourself? If so, it is important that you meet the following conditions in your situation:

Although the conditions above apply, there are regular exceptions for specific situations. Contact PAYSE now to see if it is still possible for you to benefit from the 30% ruling Netherlands if you do not meet all the conditions.
Your salary after tax Netherlands is therefore strongly influenced by the possible applicability of the 30% scheme. To give you a clear picture of the difference this expat scheme can make, let's take a look at an example for a relatively average salary of a highly skilled migrant.Â
In this scenario, we choose a gross annual salary of EUR 100,000.00 for a 33-year-old knowledge migrant.Â
Without making use of the 30% ruling, this person will ‘simply’ pay tax in the Netherlands on the full EUR 100,000.00.Â
If this person does benefit from the 30% ruling, this person will pay NO tax on 30% of the total EUR100,000.00 of salary.Â
Untaxed portion = 30% x EUR 100,000.00 = EUR 30,000.00
You then only pay tax on the remaining EUR 70,000.00. In total, the tax paid thanks to the EUR 30,000.00 net payout is then a lot lower.Â
All in all, whether or not you qualify for the expat scheme for this person (and therefore for a lot of expats) makes a big difference in excess salary per month. Wondering what is possible for you to increase your salary after tax in the Netherlands? Then contact PAYSE now!
At PAYSE, we will work with your employer to ensure that you benefit from the 30% scheme, if it is possible to meet the applicable conditions. Based on extensive experience with this expat scheme, we know exactly what the options are, even in exceptional cases.Â

The 30% ruling Netherlands does not apply to all knowledge migrants, as you have to meet specific conditions. These include a salary standard, a distance requirement and ongoing validity.
Your salary after tax in The Netherlands is not the same for everyone. It depends on the tax brackets you enter and whether or not you can use the expat scheme (30% ruling). Contact PAYSE now To find out how much salary after tax in the Netherlands you are left with.
PAYSE can indeed arrange the 30% scheme for you. This is because at PAYSE, we know exactly what conditions apply. We can therefore take over the application completely from you, so you don't get lost in the administrative work involved in this scheme.
The moment you meet the conditions of the 30% ruling, it applies to your gross salary. This means that 30% of your gross salary is paid tax-free. You only pay your tax on the remaining portion.
If you change jobs, it is possible to take the 30% scheme with you. However, you must then start your new job within 3 months and submit a new application to the Inland Revenue. Note that the maximum duration of 5 years is not restarted, it simply counts. Schedule an appointment now at PAYSEÂ To get all the administration around changing jobs right the first time!
