How we compute your Netherlands income rank
We use the CBS StatLine 83931NED distribution of personal gross income (persoonlijk bruto inkomen, 2024) to pinpoint where your income lands. Your entered annual income is ranked within your CBS 10-year age band, with an all-ages rank shown too. The median personal gross income is €38,700/year and the mean is €48,900; by age the median is €51,700 (25-35), €56,400 (35-45), and €56,800 (45-55). Take-home pay deducts loonheffing (wage tax) — Box 1 2025 including national insurance, minus the algemene heffingskorting and arbeidskorting. Important: these are personal gross income (labour, benefits and pensions, all persons), not employee wages only, and are the closest granular official Dutch income distribution.
Sources and reliability
All data is sourced from official Dutch bodies: CBS StatLine 83931NED personal gross income distribution (2024, provisional) with median by age, and Belastingdienst 2025 Box 1 rates plus the algemene heffingskorting and arbeidskorting. No proprietary adjustments — only official statistics. Rankings are on personal gross income (labour + benefits + pensions, all persons), with cohorts approximated using the CBS median by age. Important: this is not an employee-wages-only statistic — the Netherlands does not publish Korea-level wage-only percentiles, so CBS personal income is the closest granular official distribution. WW/WIA is employer-paid and excluded from take-home deductions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the Netherlands income percentile calculated?
- We use the CBS StatLine 83931NED distribution of personal gross income (persoonlijk bruto inkomen, 2024). Your entered annual income is ranked within your CBS 10-year age band, with an all-ages rank shown too. The median personal gross income is €38,700/year and the mean is €48,900. Important: these are personal gross income (labour, benefits and pensions, all persons), not employee wages only. The Netherlands does not publish Korea-level wage-only percentiles, so CBS personal income is the closest granular official distribution.
- How is take-home pay calculated?
- From Belastingdienst 2025 Box 1 income tax (including national insurance: 35.82% up to €38,441, 37.48% up to €76,817, 49.5% above) we subtract the algemene heffingskorting (max €3,068) and arbeidskorting (max €5,599). The single payslip deduction is loonheffing (wage tax). It assumes a standard employee under AOW age; WW/WIA (unemployment/disability insurance) is paid by the employer and is not deducted from take-home.
- Why 'personal income' and not a wage statistic?
- The Netherlands does not publish granular wage-earner percentiles by age the way Korea or Japan do. CBS personal gross income (labour + benefits + pensions, all persons) is the most granular official income distribution, so we use it. Because pensioners and benefit recipients are included, the all-ages median is lower than the working-age median (e.g. €51,700-€56,800 for ages 25-55 vs €38,700 all ages).
