When these numbers change
Netherlands's tax year runs with the calendar year and begins on January 1. Rates, thresholds and contribution ceilings are usually revised at that point, so the same gross salary can produce a different take-home figure from one tax year to the next — which is why this page states the tax year it is calculating for rather than leaving it implied.
The annual filing deadline is April 30. Returns are due before 1 May. If you are on a Dutch payroll, wage tax is already withheld from your salary.
