Pick the country, enter your gross salary and see if it meets the 2026 EU Blue Card minimum.
Your result will appear here.
Choose the country and the threshold that applies to you, then enter your gross salary per year or per month. The checker compares it with the official 2026 minimum and shows the source.
Pick a country (Belgium is split by region), choose the general or reduced threshold, enter your gross salary and say whether it is yearly or monthly. You get the threshold, your figure in the same unit, and how far above or below it you are.
Most countries set one general minimum. Some, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Wallonia, have a lower one for shortage occupations, recent graduates or junior staff. If a country has no lower threshold, the general one is used.
Each figure is taken from the official immigration or labour authority page for 2026 and shown with its source and date. Thresholds change every year, so check that page before you apply.
Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Finland and Belgium (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels).
The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Brussels publish a monthly figure, so the checker compares in months there.
No. You also need a higher-education degree (or, in some countries, equal professional experience) and a job contract of at least 6 months.
Yes. Each country updates its figure, usually every year, so always confirm on the official page.
