Amsterdam

82composite score · #10 of 50

MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified

MEDIUM. The rate is now live-verified: the cited rijksoverheid page was fetched and carries 'EUR 14,99' for '21 jaar en ouder' under 'brutobedragen per 1 juli 2026', together with the EUR 14,71 January rate and the fixed youth minima this row discloses as a coverage gap. An earlier version of this field said the URL 'has not been live-fetched and content-verified for the specific EUR 14.71 rate this round'; that is withdrawn, and the figure has since moved to EUR 14.99. It stays MEDIUM rather than HIGH for two reasons that remain true: no source publishes an Amsterdam-specific delivery hourly rate, and Thuisbezorgd's own courier pay page returns HTTP 403, so the market leader's employment model rests on prior project records and the Hoge Raad ruling rather than on a fresh employer fetch.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
