Monthly gross amounts as published (art. 33a), full-time 38 h/week, for employees aged 21+ grouped by salarisgroep A-J and functiejaren (years in the job since age 21). Table shown = valid 1 Mar 2026 - 28 Feb 2027 (3% increase of 1 Mar 2026 included). Amounts for group A youth and A/0 functiejaren are the statutory minimum wage amounts as of 1 Jan 2026 per the CAO text; by the CAO and the law the statutory minimum wage in force applies when it changes (WML was indexed on 1 Jul 2026) - those cells are therefore NOT authoritative for 11 Nov 2026 and were left as published. Four-weekly tables (art. 33b, factor 0.9197) exist but are not reproduced. AVV: provisions declared generally binding by SZW decree of 2 Jun 2026 (Stcrt 2026, 16945), in force from the day after publication (published 10 Jun 2026) until 31 Jan 2028; salary tables cross-checked against the decree text. Companies with a loontabel agreed with unions/OR are exempt from table changes for groups B-F (art. 33 lid 5). One of five sub-CAOs under Metaal en Techniek (others: technisch installatiebedrijf, isolatie, carrosserie, goud- en zilver) - only the metalworking one is covered here.

Notes
Monthly gross amounts as published (art. 33a), full-time 38 h/week, for employees aged 21+ grouped by salarisgroep A-J and functiejaren (years in the job since age 21). Table shown = valid 1 Mar 2026 - 28 Feb 2027 (3% increase of 1 Mar 2026 included). Amounts for group A youth and A/0 functiejaren are the statutory minimum wage amounts as of 1 Jan 2026 per the CAO text; by the CAO and the law the statutory minimum wage in force applies when it changes (WML was indexed on 1 Jul 2026) - those cells are therefore NOT authoritative for 11 Nov 2026 and were left as published. Four-weekly tables (art. 33b, factor 0.9197) exist but are not reproduced. AVV: provisions declared generally binding by SZW decree of 2 Jun 2026 (Stcrt 2026, 16945), in force from the day after publication (published 10 Jun 2026) until 31 Jan 2028; salary tables cross-checked against the decree text. Companies with a loontabel agreed with unions/OR are exempt from table changes for groups B-F (art. 33 lid 5). One of five sub-CAOs under Metaal en Techniek (others: technisch installatiebedrijf, isolatie, carrosserie, goud- en zilver) - only the metalworking one is covered here.
