Another important industry that contributes to the country's employment and national income is the energy sector. The Netherlands has 25% of the European Union's natural reserves. The majority of electricity is generated in the country. The sale of natural gas contributes to the country's revenue.

The chemical industry is one of the most important economic sectors. It results in the supply of chemical products and services, as well as the development of materials for other sectors such as health care, transportation, and food security. It also aids in the development of industry solutions.

The Netherlands' economy is expected to grow 2.7% in 2021 and around 3.7% in 2022, as private investments improve. GDP per capita and productivity are comparable to the best performers in the OECD, and employment was increasing prior to the pandemic crisis in 2020. Inequality is lower here than in the world's most advanced economies.

The minimum wage in the Netherlands for workers 21 and older is 1,684.80 EUR per month as of January 2021. On July 1, 2021, this rate will rise to 1,701.00 EUR. However, the minimum wage rate could change if your employee is covered under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). To prevent misconceptions, it is best practice to specify the proper minimum pay in a formal employment contract that the employee signs before their first day.

According to Dutch pay rules, every employee in the Netherlands receives an 8% vacation allowance as a bonus. This allowance is accrued monthly, and companies typically pay it out once a year in May.
