The salary landscape for academic researchers in the Netherlands is multifaceted, shaped by various factors. In this post, we aim to provide comprehensive insights into the salaries of PhD students and Postdocs in the Netherlands.
Before-tax Salary of PhD in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the gross salary of a PhD student spans a range from 2,395€ for a newly minted PhD student to 3,061€ per month for a fourth-year student. For a fresh PhD student, this translates to a monthly net income of approximately 1,820€, while a fourth-year student can expect a net monthly income of around 2,154€. Details of the calculation.
For postdoctoral scholars in the Netherlands, salaries are substantially higher than those of PhD students. Typically, Postdocs in the Netherlands receive gross monthly salaries ranging from 2,790€ to 4,402€. Consequently, the net monthly income for Postdocs falls within the range of 2,227€ to 2,787€.

After-tax Salary of PhD and Postdocs in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, highly skilled migrant workers, including scientists, benefit from a special rule known as the “30% ruling.” This rule allows for a 30% exemption on the gross salary of skilled migrant workers, rendering that portion tax-free. To illustrate, if your annual income is 100,000€, you can enjoy a tax-free allowance of 30,000€ per year. However, specific conditions must be met to qualify for this tax benefit.

This system is analogous to those in other Western European countries like Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Norway, Ireland, France and the UK. However, it’s important to note that these salaries are typically lower than those received by PhD students in ITN (Innovative Training Network) positions or Postdocs hired through the prestigious Marie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship.
