Everywhere in the article we are talking about the so-called sv-loon, which means that the salary that is taken into account is taxable income. That is, if you have 30% rulling, then this is the remaining 70%. At the same time, reimbursement of the road, telephone, kindergarten, etc. does not count, as well as free internships.
All of the following applies to citizens or residents of the Netherlands who invite someone, for residents and citizens of other EU countries living in the Netherlands, the rules are slightly different.

Reduced specialist rate € 2,497 gross per month
In some cases, a highly qualified professional may receive a reduced rate. This is possible in the case when you studied in the Netherlands, after that you received a year to look for a job and a corresponding residence permit (zoekjaar). If, during this year, in your job search or immediately after it, you found a job as a highly qualified specialist, the requirements for your salary will be slightly lower.

If the employer changes, the salary should be calculated in accordance with the age of the specialist. Except when a highly qualified specialist falls under the conditions of a reduced specialist rate.
