# What does an employee in the Netherlands cost on top of salary?

For a small employer, employer contributions come to about 17% of salary, plus the 8% holiday allowance. A pension comes on top where a sector fund applies. Through Fronted you also pay €390 per employee/month, and statutory costs are passed through at cost with no markup.
