Short history: fewer than 6 complete months, so this is the change across them, not a yearly rate.
Oct 2026 so far: a median of €75,000 from 30 adverts. The month is not complete, so it is not used in the trend.

Day rates. No Tender Manager advert in Netherlands, at any experience level, stated a day rate during this period. Why we never annualise one →
How many adverts say what they pay. 2 of the 7 permanent adverts behind the figures on this page state a usable salary (29%, Low data): 1 in a structured field and 1 found only in the advert text. Contract and part-time adverts are not counted here; contract day rates have their own line. AI reads salaries found only in advert text and can misread them. How we read and count salaries →
Estimated posting dates. 1 of the 2 adverts behind the figures above reached us with no posting date on it, so we recorded the day we collected it instead. It counts in every window on this page and is left out of the monthly series. How we date an advert →
