Population (total): 16,847,007 Capital: Amsterdam Population: 1,044,000 Currency: Euro (EUR) The Netherlands Annual Median Income after taxes is $24,000 USD. Annual Median Income Cint uses the median household income to provide a point of comparison between income-earners in each country. Where the mean income average is the sum of all parts (or aggregate income) divided by the number of items (or income earners), the median average is the point that divides the population into two groups; half of the population makes an income below the median income amount, and half makes more than that amount. The median income is seen as a better indicator as it avoids the effect of dramatically high or low values.
