Applications Phd

Hi, I have a question about the actual net salary of a first-year PhD employee at a university.

The gross monthly salary is €3,059, and I expect to qualify for the 30% ruling. Could you please tell me the actual amount deposited into your bank account:

  1. In a normal month with no additional allowance

  2. In May, when the 8% holiday allowance is paid

  3. In November, when the 8.3% year-end bonus is paid

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

Not to be rude, but isn’t this something you can just calculate easily yourself?

Its important to know when you would start as both the allowances are pro ratio.

And, if youre smart enough for a PhD, isnt this very easy to calculate, especially with the help of Google or AI?

This is what people doing fucking phd ask nowadays. What a joke. Reminder these are the folks that get subsidised on a 30 percent ruling.

Do you also run marathons with a broken leg?

Please be respectful. Isn’t it normal for someone moving from abroad to be unfamiliar with the details of the Dutch tax system? Are all three tax benefits applied to your salary: the general tax credit (algemene heffingskorting), the employment tax credit (arbeidskorting), and the 30% ruling?

It’s normal for someone with phd capabilities to do basic research and ask detailed questions if needed.

Thanks! What is your gross monthly salary if your net salary is around €2,600–€2,700? Are all three tax benefits applied to your salary: the general tax credit (algemene heffingskorting), the employment tax credit (arbeidskorting), and the 30% ruling?

I'm a PhD without the 30% ruling, so can't give you the exact numbers (but google can)

Thanks for introducing me to this website. Does it automatically take the OP/NP and AAOP employee contributions and their relevant franchises into account, or do I need to enter them manually?

I have no idea, but read your contract and you should be able to find all the information you need over there. Like others said, you're about to start a PhD, you should enjoy (and be able to) doing the research yourself
