Work and money

Your minimum hourly wage is a legal right: 14.99 eur/hour from 1 July 2026

NL has one statutory minimum hourly wage (no lower monthly trick). Age 21+ earns at least 14.71 eur/hr (1 Jan 2026), rising to 14.99 eur/hr (1 July 2026); under-21s have fixed lower rates. If an employer pays less they are breaking the law - check your payslip against the official table and report underpayment to the Netherlands Labour Authority. Applies to employment, not ZZP invoicing.
