This brings the minimum wage for people aged 21 and over to €1,995 a month. This amount will be adjusted again on 1 January, but then it applies to people working 36 hours. If you work more hours, you also earn more. From 2024, the Netherlands will switch to a minimum hourly wage. This is fairer because 36, 38 or 40 hour working weeks apply in various industries. The employee himself has no influence on this.
Based on the minimum wage that applies from July 1, Visma Raet calculated that those who work 38 hours will receive an additional gross amount of around 110 euros per month in 2024. With a 40-hour working week, the gross monthly minimum wage is higher around 222 euros.
Earlier this year, the minimum wage increased significantly. Then there was a 10% gross increase.
