Bloody Bureaucracy. Sorted.
One calm, ordered place for the whole relocation — from the job hunt to the Anmeldung. See your real take-home pay, build a CV that fits each role, track every application, catch the red flags in your contract, and follow a clear path through the housing and the bureaucracy. Built by a Dutch HR professional who made the move herself.
What you won't find anywhere else
- Your real take-home — DE and NL
Net pay for the German Steuerklasse and the Dutch 30% ruling & vakantiegeld, plus benchmarks that show how your salary compares by role and city. - Know if the offer is fair
Every offer compared to the market median for your role and city — with net pay and the full benefits package broken down. - Read the contract before you sign
The red-flag scanner surfaces non-competes, overtime flat-rates, training-repayment and IP clauses — in plain English, ranked by risk. - Decode a German reference letter
The coded grading language of an Arbeitszeugnis, translated, rated and red-flagged — in your CV's language. - Know your rights if it ends
Severance estimated both ways — German Abfindung and Dutch transitievergoeding — with the rules that decide what you're owed. - Never miss a deadline that matters
Passport, residence permit and registration dates tracked and surfaced before they lapse — not after an expensive mistake.
Everything else the move asks of you, in one hub
- A CV that fits each job
Build it, import from LinkedIn or XING, tailor it to every role with an honest AI gap analysis, and translate it (EN, DE, NL and more). - Never lose an application
Every role, interview stage, follow-up and offer tracked in one clear pipeline. - Find a home in DE or NL
Decode Kaltmiete vs Warmmiete, the Kaution and the rental dossier — plus buying guides and mortgage tools for both countries. - Get the bureaucracy in order
Anmeldung, BSN, visa or Blue Card, bank account and insurance — in the right order, nothing forgotten. - Built for freelancers too
Time tracking and compliant invoices (Kleinunternehmer or VAT), with money set aside for tax automatically. - Your documents, in one place
BSN, Steuer-ID, DigiD, passport, diplomas and family papers — a searchable vault, synced across your devices.
One workflow, start to finish: build your CV, apply and track, prep for interviews, compare offers, check your contract, sort housing and the paperwork, then settle in.
Questions people actually ask
How does the net salary calculator work for Germany?
Enter your gross annual salary, select your Steuerklasse (tax class), and BloodyBureaucracy calculates your net monthly take-home after income tax (Lohnsteuer), health insurance (Krankenversicherung), pension (Rentenversicherung), unemployment (Arbeitslosenversicherung), and nursing care insurance (Pflegeversicherung).
What is the 30% ruling in the Netherlands?
The 30% ruling (30%-regeling) is a Dutch tax advantage for highly skilled migrants. Up to 30% of your gross salary can be paid tax-free, significantly increasing your net income. BloodyBureaucracy calculates your take-home both with and without the ruling.
What is vakantiegeld?
Vakantiegeld (holiday allowance) is a mandatory Dutch payment of at least 8% of your annual gross salary, paid out once a year — typically in May or June. It is separate from your regular monthly salary.
Is BloodyBureaucracy free?
Yes — BloodyBureaucracy is free for early testers, with no credit card required. All core tools (salary calculator, CV builder, application tracker, contract scanner, relocation checklist) are included.
