Even with only six months of experience, €15 is really low for a freelance rate in the Netherlands. Remember that you usually need to reserve about half of your rate for taxes, rent, investments, etcetera, so you're actually getting paid less for freelance jobs than with your regular job. Freelance rates i've seen in the Netherlands usually range somewhere from €50 on the lower end to €120 on the higher end.
