Holland Fizetés Kalkulátor

Holiday Allowance (Vakantiegeld) is a mandatory bonus on top of your gross salary, guaranteed under Dutch law (Wet minimumloon).

• Every employee receives 8% of their gross annual salary as holiday allowance.
• Usually paid as a lump sum in May or June.
• Some employers spread it across 12 monthly payments instead.
• It is calculated on your full gross annual salary (including overtime and allowances).
• It is a legal right — your employer cannot refuse to pay it.

30% Ruling (30%-regeling) is a tax facility for highly skilled migrants recruited from abroad.

• 30% of your gross salary becomes tax-free, significantly boosting your net income.
• Minimum salary threshold: €46,107/year in 2025 (or €35,048 for under-30 with a master’s degree).
• Maximum duration: 5 years (reduced from 8 years as of 2024).
• You must have lived 150+ km from the Dutch border for at least 16 of the 24 months before your hire date.
• Apply within 4 months of starting work — late applications are rejected.
• Your employer submits the application to the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax authority) on your behalf.

Tax Credits (Heffingskortingen) are subtracted directly from the tax you owe — not from your income. They reduce your bill euro-for-euro.

• AHK (Algemene Heffingskorting) — General tax credit. Everyone gets it. It phases out at higher income levels (above ~€29,736).
• AK (Arbeidskorting) — Employment tax credit. Only for employed persons. Phases out above ~€39,958.
• Combined, these credits can save you €6,000–€7,500 per year depending on your income level.
• They are applied automatically by your employer via payroll; you do not need to claim them separately.
