Hello,

you should try these 2 websites + google translate/chrome

Basically, it's around 1670鈧� after tax + 7鈧�*20days = +/- 1800鈧� after tax + the dkv (pretty expensive and the cover is the best by far in Belgium!) + 1.9 of your salary split in July and January.

May I ask you what's your domain of expertise? (IT? else?), that would help to tell you if the salary is fair enough or quite low.

This worked well for me, though I don't live in Flanders.

Open the following link in Google Chrome:
