Quick question. I just graduated and looking for work but the taxes look so high!! I am trying to figure out how much can you actually earn working as a student in Belgium?
leuven_student_lifeHow much can you earn working as a student in Belgium?
leuven_student_lifeAccepted answer
map_readerGross pay is usually between €11.50 and €18 per hour. You pay less social security with a student contract, but if you go over 650 hours you pay more. Night shifts in logistics warehouses are easy work for double pay.
- student contract
- social security
- 650 hours
thanks

JokingNonnieTry to work full-time or grab 2 jobs during the summer holidays. It is the best way to save up money for the school year.
brussels_engineerSome places say there is a 475-hour limit for the student contract, but I always saw people talking about a 650-hour quota. It is so confusing with all these different rules!!
HISTORICAL_PROFIncome distribution here is actually quite even because the middle class is so strong - wealth inequality is much lower than in other places
wafflelover882It is hard to find a student job... that offers consistent weekend shifts... though the pay is usually better then
bxl_property_guyThis is helpful information! Do you know if most of these jobs are located in the city center or in the suburbs? (I am asking because the commute can be expensive too!)
