  Hi! If you're working in the major cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, then it's fairly common to see salaries for a medior of something like 45-55k and more for a senior (I've seen upwards of 70k for some roles in finance). Some other notes to keep in mind when considering moving here: * There is a "30% ruling" for high demand skills workers like in IT that will reduce your income tax [1] * But, income tax in the Netherlands is high! (~40%) [2] * Quality of living, infrastructure, education is great though, arguably the high taxes do you give you a lot back * Healthcare is pretty reasonable but it's a two-tier system that costs a decent amount of your paycheck and still requires you to pay for mandatory insurance If you have any other questions, let me know.

    Dutch income taxes should be closer to 30% than 40%. This however depends on various tax discounts you may get. My tax rate is around 33% at the moment if I remember correctly
