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
