Good news! The net salary of all income groups, on average, is improved.

The salary processor Raet, which comes up first with the numbers on wages for the next year, has indicated. People with a minimum wage will have the most significant improvement:
• Minimum wage: + 2.2% (net salary in 2017: 1409.93 Euros).
• Moderate: +1.08% increase (net salary in 2017: 2156.08 Euros).
• 1.5 times the average income: +1.20% (net salary in 2017: 2882, - Euro).
• 2 times the average income: + 1.26% (net salary in 2017: 3600.25 Euros).


After Prinsjesdag (Budget day) the Tweedekamer (Second Chamber) made a new policy: they considered different points, like the general tax credit and the earned income, so that everyone’s salary would be improved. After this, Raet calculated how much everyone would receive on average in the next year.

Low Wages

A little wage increase - from the companies point of view- cannot hurt the Netherlands, several economists are concluding. De Nederlandsche Bank also sees space for wage increases in various industries, for example in the hospitality industry and transportation.


Earlier this yearDNB boss Klaas Knot called on companies to stimulate the economy by not limiting salary increases to the current rate, with very low inflation. Higher salaries imply a stronger purchasing power of employees, who can therefore spend more.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
