Typical rates in Netherlands
Toward the top of market rates
Studios in Netherlands price at the higher end of the published ranges. Mid-range 3D art commonly runs $100-200/hour and senior programming reaches the top band near $120-250/hour, with junior work rarely dipping to the cheapest figures. Across the market, hourly rates run roughly $25-150 for 2D art, $30-200 for 3D art, $35-250 for programming, and $30-200 for audio, moving up with seniority. You pay more here, but you usually get easier communication, overlapping working hours for Western clients, strong IP and contract frameworks, and teams that have shipped AAA titles. For complex or NDA-heavy projects that premium often pays for itself in fewer surprises.
These are general market ranges, not quoted studio rates. For a full breakdown by service and seniority, see the game outsourcing cost guide. Need a specific engine? Compare Unity and Unreal Engine studios.
