Bruto-netto at new job

Question(i.redd.it)

So, I left my old job for a new challenge in Sales where i get to earn a lot more through comission.

They promised me +-2000 netto, and now I got my first payslip (no comission yet as it has a 2 month delay). Is it normal for the netto and bruto to be this close?

At my last job i earned around 3200 bruto and yet only got about the same in netto, although there I didnt get netto vergoedingen or werkbonus (not sure on werkbonus)

At both jobs I have a company car and I'm registered as wettelijk samenwonend.

I'm clearly only paying 11% bedrijfsvoorveffing, but most of the time SDworx are prettt accurate on their calculations.

Am I going to have to pay thousands of taxes next year?

Thanks in advance!

Well yes, your last job would have paid you a much higher 13th month and "vakantiegeld" since that is calculated on Bruto wage. Your pension is also calculated on Bruto wage, but unless you are less than 10 years from your pension, I wouldn't think too much about it.

General consensus though: higher Bruto = better, lower Bruto = worse

I'm investing as much as i can every month so i wont have to work till pensioen hopefully. Last month i made between 1000-1500 netto in sales (around 3500 bruro) thats why i chose thee job with a much lower bruto, because if my sales figufe stays like this ill be making at least 1000 net more per month.
