Average Salary in Belgium

The latest figures from the Belgian Statistical Office (Statbel) indicate that the average gross monthly salary in Belgium is €4,076, with the highest salaries reported in the Brussels Capital Region and the lowest paid in the Walloon Region. This means that the average Belgian worker earns a gross annual salary of €56,738, which corresponds to a net monthly pay of €2,631, as estimated by our tax calculator.

Minimum Wage in Belgium

While Belgium does not have a minimum wage determined by law, it has a Guaranteed Average Monthly Minimum Income (RMMMG), which is currently set at €2,112. This amount refers to the monthly gross pay of workers over 18 years old, and includes end-of-year bonuses or thirteenth month payments. In other words, the guaranteed minimum yearly wage is around €29,398 before taxes, which equates to a take-home pay of €1,645 per month.

Taxes Included in This Belgian Salary Calculator

• Income Tax (Impôt sur le Revenu, IPP) is a progressive tax, meaning that individuals with higher wages will be taxed more than individuals with lower wages. The basic personal allowance is currently €11,180, and is not subject to income tax. Employees are also entitled to a standard deduction that amounts to 30% of their taxable salary, with a maximum of €6,070 per taxpayer.
