For an unskilled position, people who go to work in the Netherlands earn between 800 and 1200 euros a month.

Skilled workers, depending on their occupation, earn between €1000 and €2000 a month after deducting income, insurance and taxes, but without living expenses. Some workers have, in addition to their salary, their transport expenses paid.

In addition to the salary, you will also receive a holiday allowance. Every hour of work contributes to vacation pay. Depending on the recruiting company, vacation pay may be paid for each vacation period you take or twice a year, usually in June and December.
