Calculate transition compensation
Gross 2026 estimate for complete years and months only. Remaining days and variable pay require an additional calculation. A settlement does not automatically create entitlement.
Legal calculators

Work and income
Calculate sick pay
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
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
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
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
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
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
Child maintenance calculator Netherlands 2026
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
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
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
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
Home purchase cooling-off period
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Check protected income
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
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
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
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
Working with WIA: total income
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Personal care contribution
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
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
Calculate a contractual penalty
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
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
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.
