Above, under the salary package proposal, you can find our formal proposal.
Given that the Belgian salary taxation system isn't the easiest to interpret we also provide you with a best-effort simulation to give you an idea of what this proposal means for you at the end of the month. Please also see this as nothing more than a best-effort estimation; for a more formal simulation, please get in touch with your specific questions or use something like this or this.
If you have any questions at any point, don't hesitate to reach out to the person that sent you this proposal via mail or chat.
Monthly cash estimation
Monthly net allowance
You will receive a monthly net allowance. This allowance value isn't taxed and will be paid out in net on your bank account. The components of this allowance are build up according to formal regulations set forth by Belgium's social security.
Copyright fee
If there is an IP rights percentage mentioned in your proposal, then your role is entitled to get a part of your gross salary paid out in IP rights fees. This part of your gross salary is taxed in a very beneficial way. While this changes nothing for you day-to-day, it allows you to decrease your total tax burden.
Mobility budget
At Dataroots, you have the option to opt-in for a company car or for a mobility budget. The mobility budget is a monthly budget constructed so you can use it without any taxation for sustainable mobility options (e.g. train or bus tickets, a bike purchase..) or to pay your rent or loan. If you want to convert it into cash, there is approx. a 30% tax deduction.
Meal vouchers
You will receive a Monizze card loaded every month with the value defined in the green box multiplied by your actual days worked for the given month. You can use this card to buy food at (almost) every supermarket in Belgium. The estimation is based on 20 working days. For a meal voucher value of e.g. 7 EUR as an employee you are legally obliged to contribute 1.09EUR from your net salary. This means that for this example, the net value of the meal voucher is 5.91 EUR.
