Work and income

7

Calculate transition compensation

Calculate here
What is this for?

Calculate a gross 2026 estimate using the correct monthly wage basis, complete service years and gross pay for all remaining months and days.

Calculate sick pay

Calculate here
What is this for?

Calculates only your chosen percentage, not net benefits. Check the collective agreement, waiting days, maximum daily wage and first-year minimum-wage top-up. Employers generally pay at least 70% for up to 104 weeks.

Calculate unused holiday pay

Calculate here
What is this for?

Gross arithmetic: hours × applicable hourly pay. Include relevant normal pay components without duplication. Statutory leave cannot be bought out during employment; different rules apply on termination.

Calculate statutory holiday hours

Calculate here
What is this for?

Four times a fixed working week per full year, proportional to months entered. Additional collective leave excluded. Variable hours or unpaid leave require a separate accrual check.

Calculate holiday allowance

Calculate here
What is this for?

Enter relevant total gross earnings for the accrual period, excluding the allowance itself. Often 8% applies; pay components, collective agreements and exceptions determine the base. Not a net calculation.

Late wage payment uplift

Calculate here
What is this for?

Count the late working days. Days 1–3: 0%; days 4–8: 5% daily; then 1%, capped at 50%. Delay must be attributable to the employer. A court may reduce it; interest is separate.

Calculate employment notice

Calculate here
What is this for?

Standard statutory months for an indefinite contract. Collective agreements, contract terms, AOW, probation and UWV procedures may differ. No end date is calculated; notice usually ends at month-end.

Family and inheritance

4

Child maintenance calculator Netherlands 2026

Calculate here
What is this for?

Estimate Dutch child maintenance for 2026. Understand net income, care discounts, shared care and spousal needs with worked examples and practical guidance.

Inheritance tax estimate

Official calculator · Belastingdienst
What is this for?

Use the year of death, your relationship and inheritance received. Wills, usufruct, business assets or cross-border cases may need advice. This is not a tax return.

Gift tax estimate

Official calculator · Belastingdienst
What is this for?

Select gift year and donor/recipient relationship. Include other gifts in the same year and previously used increased exemptions. Check filing obligations separately.

Index maintenance for 2026

Calculate here
What is this for?

Only the step from the applicable end-2025 amount to 2026: +4.6%. Check whether indexation has validly been excluded or otherwise arranged. Use LBIO’s yearly series for multi-year arrears.

Renting and housing

10

Your home-buying costs overview

Calculate here
What is this for?

Enter one-off purchase costs from your own quotations and agreements. Mark each amount as confirmed, estimated or unknown. Confirmed amounts and estimates are added up separately.

Compare gross mortgage payments

Calculate here
What is this for?

Compare level-payment, equal-principal and interest-only repayments using the same loan amount, your own interest rate and term. This is a calculation scenario, not a calculation of how much you may borrow.

Home purchase cooling-off period

Calculate here
What is this for?

For private home buyers in the European Netherlands. Enter when you received the contract signed by both parties in 2026. The statutory period starts the next day: three days, including at least two non-weekend, non-holiday days. The end date is extended where needed. A longer agreed period takes precedence.

Maximum rental deposit

Calculate here
What is this for?

For residential agreements concluded from 1 July 2023 in the European Netherlands: at most two months’ basic rent. Enter the agreement date, not moving day. Older contracts and service charges are outside this calculation; a lower agreed deposit stays lower.

Rent and housing points

Official calculator · Huurcommissie
What is this for?

Choose the correct dwelling type. Area, facilities, energy rating and WOZ value can matter. Points alone do not always determine the rules for your tenancy.

Calculate rent increase

Calculate here
What is this for?

Measures euros and percentage, not legality. Sector, effective date, property points, contract and income determine the limit. Compare basic rent excluding service charges.

Check service charge balance

Calculate here
What is this for?

Positive balance means a refund on these inputs; negative means a shortfall. Use the same period and only your share of evidenced permitted costs. This does not validate cost items or allocation methods.

Calculate deposit balance

Calculate here
What is this for?

Arithmetic balance, not acceptance of damage or debt. Deduct only permitted itemised amounts. Normal wear is not tenant damage. A negative result does not establish an obligation to pay more.

Home equity share on separation

Calculate here
What is this for?

Only the share of value less mortgage; a negative result is negative equity. Personal contributions, reimbursement rights, costs and marital regime excluded. Ownership transfer does not automatically release mortgage liability.

Money and debts

4

Check protected income

Official calculator · Rijksoverheid
What is this for?

Check your protected-income statement using the official service. Household, income and housing costs matter. Report errors to the seizing authority; calculation does not automatically amend seizure.

Calculate debt collection costs

Calculate here
What is this for?

Statutory scale for one principal, without a VAT surcharge. Consumers first need a valid fourteen-day demand. Multiple instalments, combined claims and business agreements may differ.

Estimate statutory interest per period

Calculate here
What is this for?

Simple estimate at a fixed rate on a 365-day basis, up to 366 days. Select the correct statutory or commercial rate. Split periods at rate changes or payments; annual compounding and the default date are not determined.

Repayment plan duration

Calculate here
What is this for?

No new interest or fees. The final instalment may be smaller. The creditor must agree; this does not compel a plan or determine affordability.

Benefits and allowances

9

Working with WIA: total income

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

Use UWV’s calculator for your WIA type. Have your decision, WIA monthly wage and expected earnings ready. Also report changes to UWV.

Calculate Wajong benefit

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

UWV estimates gross Wajong and total income. Use your decision and earnings. Age, work capacity and a guarantee amount may matter; this is not an award.

Calculate Ziektewet benefit

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

Use UWV for a gross estimate. Have daily wage, earnings and decision ready. Pregnancy, organ donation and no-risk cover can change the rules. This differs from continued sick pay.

WW benefit: estimate and application

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

Estimate gross WW with UWV using wage details. The daily wage cap and other earnings may affect the result. This is not an award.

Duration of WW

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

UWV uses employment history and week/year conditions. Gather working years and the decision. Private collective-agreement extensions may be separate.

Working while receiving WW

Official calculator · UWV
What is this for?

Compare wages and WW with UWV. Report earnings officially too; this does not replace income reporting. Self-employment may follow different rules.

Healthcare, rent and child-related allowances

Official calculator · Dienst Toeslagen
What is this for?

Select year and allowances in the official estimate. Use household assessment income; assets and partner status may matter. An estimate is not an application. Special asset or rental situations and some cross-border situations fall outside this estimate. For rent benefit in 2026, use basic rent without service charges. Check the relevant rules for other years.

Personal care contribution

Official calculator · CAK
What is this for?

Select care type and calculation year with CAK. Income, assets and household may matter. Check the reference year and adjustment conditions if income fell.

Calculate AOW pension age

Official calculator · SVB
What is this for?

Enter your date of birth with SVB. For later birth years the age may still be an estimate. This does not calculate pension amounts or insured years.

Deadlines and proceedings

3

Calculate a contractual penalty

Calculate here
What is this for?

Enter the base and percentage from your contract. There is no automatic 10% rate. This does not assess validity, need for a default notice or judicial reduction.

Online purchase cooling-off period

Calculate here
What is this for?

Ordinary period for received goods: 14 days starting the day after receipt, extended past weekends/holidays at the end. Custom goods, services, digital content and missing information require separate assessment. Dates 2026.

Traffic fine appeal period

Calculate here
What is this for?

Six-week estimate for a Mulder (M) notice, adjusted for weekends/holidays. Not for criminal penalties, parking tax or CBR decisions. Check the letter’s date and instructions; do not wait until the last day. Dates 2026.

Prepare for your situation

A defect in my rented home

Keep a clear record of rental defects

Preparation help for your rented home in the Netherlands.

There are several defects. How do I keep them separate?

Give each defect a short name and location, such as “bedroom leak”. Use that name for reports, photo references and replies in the timeline. This keeps each arrangement linked to the right defect.

I only called the landlord. What should I record?

Note when you called, who you spoke to, what you reported and their response. Mark any uncertain date or arrangement. Your own call notes are not confirmation from the landlord. This tool does not send your report.

A repair was made, but the problem remains. How do I update my record?

Add a new event with the repair date, the work done and what you still notice afterwards. Keep earlier reports and note where to find new photos or messages. Save the updated preparation again or download a new Word version.

Starting your parenting plan

Help with preparing arrangements for children in the Netherlands. The existing plan form is in Dutch.

Can I start before we agree?

Yes. Choose ‘Ik maak eerst mijn eigen voorstel’ (I am preparing my own proposal). Say what you want to discuss for each unresolved point. Filling in a field does not mean the other parent agrees. If discussion is unsafe, prepare your questions separately and seek personal help.

How do I separate arrangements for different children?

Use the child’s name or initials in each relevant field. Note the days, handovers and open questions for each child. Allow for different school schedules or needs; do not automatically use the same arrangements for every child.

What can I do with an unfinished plan?

Go to ‘Controle en Word’ (Review and Word) and download the draft. Empty fields remain marked as unresolved. The plan form does not save your entries in My overview. Closing or reloading may lose them. Downloading does not sign or submit the plan.
