Hey r/NLSalaris

I've been running WageWatchers (https://www.wagewatchers.com/) for Belgium for about a year: it's a free, anonymous salary platform where you can submit and explore salary data without any account or login. The Dutch side just went live, and it's directly built on the r/NLSalaris template as its foundation.

What that means

The fields, structure, and salary components follow what this community already established, role, experience level, region, contract type, sector, with extra fields on top for things like vakantiegeld, pension scheme, travel reimbursement, and remote setup. The goal was to stay consistent with what people here already know, not reinvent it.

The Belgian side grew a lot through input from r/BESalary, and I'm hoping the same happens here — if something is missing or doesn't fit the Dutch context right, I want to know. (You can leave it here or feedback page, I prefer the feedback page on the website)

What it is

100% anonymous — no login, no account, no personal data stored. Free — no ads, no paywalls, nothing to sign up for. Open source on GitHub. There's an optional donation page for hosting costs, genuinely not required. Takes about 2–4 minutes to submit.

The dataset is primarily Belgian right now (1,850+ entries), but the goal is to get the Dutch side to a point where it's actually useful for benchmarking and negotiations. The more entries, the better the percentiles.

Hey r/BESalary

About a year ago I launched WageWatchers here and you helped get it off the ground. It's been quiet from my side for a few months, but I figured a one-year mark deserves a proper update.

Where things stand

1,850+ verified Belgian entries. Still free, still anonymous, still no ads, still open source. There's an optional donation page if you want to support hosting, but genuinely not expected.

What's new

A lot of things you asked for early on are now done:

• Freelance / hourly rate support
• Company car details and filtering
• Bonus, 13th month, RSU fields
• Better city normalization and region grouping
• And the big one: Dutch support is now live

Netherlands is open

The Dutch form is built on the r/NLSalaris template with added NL-specific fields (vakantiegeld, pension, etc.). The goal is to grow from 1,850 toward 3,000 entries combining both countries: more data means better percentiles and more useful benchmarks for everyone.

Still 100% anonymous, no account, no login, nothing stored that could identify you. Anomaly detection + manual review keeps the data clean.

Thanks to everyone who submitted over the past year. It's helped a lot of people benchmark and negotiate better.
