Salary tables
The 'Agreement on the Payment of Costs for Scientific Research' sets out the reciprocal obligations with regard to the employees recruited by the institutions to carry out research funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO, Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek). These are based on the collective labour agreements of Universities of the Netherlands (for universities) and NFU (for academic medical centres).
Salary tables Universities of the Netherlands
The size of the personnel costs to be funded can be looked up in the salary tables of the Universities of the Netherlands. The salary tables have been agreed upon in the ‘Agreement on the Payment of Costs for Scientific Research‘ and are based on the collective labour agreement (Dutch acronym: CAO) of the Dutch universities.
The standardised costs include the direct salary costs and a provision for the holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus and employer costs and other personnel costs, independent of the actual salary scale of an employee. Based on the salary tables, the size of the personnel costs for grant applications can be determined.
The total remuneration for the deployment of researchers/scientists is based on the type of researcher (e.g. PhD or senior scientist), the duration of the appointment (in years and months) and whether the position is full-time or part-time.

Master, PhD and Postdoc Scholarships
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.

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.

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.
