Is € 105.000 a good salary in the Netherlands?
At € 105.000, this is a high salary for the Netherlands — roughly 2.2× the national median of about € 48.000. After income tax and contributions you keep an estimated € 5.797 a month, 66% of the gross figure.
On a € 105.000 salary the marginal rate — the tax on your next unit of pay — is about 50%, while the effective rate across the whole salary is only 33.7%. That gap is why a raise on top of € 105.000 is taxed more heavily than the salary as a whole, and why this income keeps 66% of gross overall.
For context, a one-bedroom flat in Amsterdam averages about € 2.000 a month — roughly 34% of this salary's € 5.797 take-home, a real but workable share of net pay, leaving room to save with some budgeting.

What a pay rise on € 105.000 is really worth
On € 105.000 only 51% of the next slice survives, so a rise at this income is worth far less than its headline figure once the 50% marginal rate has taken its share. A € 2.000 rise adds € 1.010 a year, or € 84 a month, on top of the € 5.797 you already take home.
Stretch it to € 10.000 and the net gain is € 5.050 a year — € 421 a month, lifting take-home from € 5.797 to about € 6.218. That second figure, not the € 10.000, is what a negotiation over € 105.000 is actually worth.
