Fully Managed Payroll in Netherlands.
No admin. No guesswork. Just accurate payments and expert support just a phone call away.
TopSource rated 5/5 by our customers
Every Payslip Filed. Every Question Answered.
Dutch payroll is detailed and closely supervised. With mandatory contributions to national insurance (volksverzekeringen) and employee insurance schemes, strict compliance under the Dutch Civil Code, and monthly wage tax filings (loonheffingen) to the Belastingdienst, precision is essential. Payslips are often required in Dutch, and frequent legislative updates — from pension schemes to the 30% ruling for expats — add another layer of complexity.
Our expert‑led services and purpose‑built payroll platform ensure your payroll in the Netherlands is always accurate, compliant, and multilingual where required. And whenever questions arise, your dedicated support team is just a phone call away.
So you can focus on growing your business, not the Netherlands’ demanding payroll system.
TopSource runs it as part of our global payroll services.

Netherlands payroll: frequently asked questions
We manage the monthly payroll tax return (loonaangifte) filed with the Belastingdienst, the mandatory 8% holiday allowance (vakantiegeld) accrual and payment, and pension contribution remittance to the applicable sector or company pension fund. We also apply the 30% ruling tax benefit for qualifying skilled migrants where relevant.
Monthly payroll is standard in the Netherlands, and Dutch payslips must clearly itemize gross salary, holiday allowance accrual, pension contributions, and payroll tax deductions in a format that reconciles with the loonaangifte filed with the Belastingdienst.

Salaries are paid in Euros through Dutch bank transfers, and we manage loonaangifte filing and pension fund remittance through your entity’s payroll setup, while your global treasury and consolidated reporting stay in your preferred currency.
