Overtime and extra hours at €21.00
| Rate | Per hour | Per extra weekly hour, per year |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (1×) | €21.00 | €1,092 |
| Time and a half (1.5×) | €31.50 | €1,638 |
| Double time (2×) | €42.00 | €2,184 |
Extra hours are taxed at your marginal rate, not your average rate, so the take-home from overtime is lower than your usual hourly net, but overtime never pushes the tax on your existing pay higher.
