Given my age of 45, I visited CheckMark to find out whether I was still employable with my experience. I received some good and realistic advice and found a new job through CheckMark. During my contact with CheckMark, I noticed that they really do go out of their way to also place people in the latter part of their careers, emphasising experience.

How much does a laboratory technician earn?
The salary of a laboratory technician varies depending on experience, education and the sector you work in. For newly graduated laboratory technicians at secondary vocational education level (MBO), the salary is often between

€2,400
and
€2,800
gross per month. Did you complete higher professional education (HBO)? In that case, the starting salary is often slightly higher, between
€2,800
and
€3,200
gross per month.
As you gain more experience, your salary can increase. For experienced laboratory technicians with a secondary vocational background (MBO), the salary can rise to between

€3,000
and
€3,600
per month. With a higher professional education background (HBO), the salary can rise to between
€3,500
and
€4,500
per month.
Youth wages may still apply to newly graduated MLO students (secondary laboratory education), which means that their salary may still be slightly lower at a younger age. Ultimately, factors such as the collective agreement, bonuses and sector-specific regulations (for example, chemicals, pharmaceuticals or food industry) can also impact your total earnings.
