I got my first job in the Netherlands with a salary of 52800 yearly and benefits that include :
16 000 retirement contribution
4 000 OV card
Today I received my first pay slip and it was a bit of a chock for me. The salary is 4400, tax has been deducted 2200, making it 50 percent!
When I check below websites with a salary of 52800 it gives the following tax
Thetax: 33.00%
the30ruling: 33.18%
blueumbrella: 33.00%
I contacted HR who says the using the following website
https://www.berekenen.nl/inkomen/loonhe … /resultaat
The only fields I change are the date of birth to 01-01-1985 and salary to 52800. It gives me a tax of 50.61%.
This is a huge difference, which one is correct? When I talked to HR they only said "the taxes are this high in the Netherlands". Am I calculating it wrong for the first 3 websites because I dont add my benefits? Although, I dont add them for berekenen either. I dont know Dutch, are there any fields I need to fill in?
