Welder Salary in Netherlands

Welder pay in Netherlands: Amsterdam leads, Rotterdam trails

The Netherlands national median for a welder is € 79.800 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about € 51.700 in Rotterdam to € 61.700 in Amsterdam (1.2×).

Welders join metal parts using heat for construction, manufacturing, and repair. Common screening skills include MIG/TIG, Blueprints, Safety, and Fabrication.

A modeled national band runs about € 56.800–€ 107.900 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +3% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Dutch city.

Amsterdam sits -23% vs the national median; Rotterdam sits -35%. Relocating inside Netherlands for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.
