Frequently asked questions

How is Dutch wage tax (loonheffing) calculated for 2026?

Box 1 income is taxed in progressive brackets: 35.75% up to 38,883 EUR, 37.56% from 38,883 to 78,426 EUR, and 49.50% above. Two payroll tax credits, the algemene heffingskorting (general credit) and the arbeidskorting (labour credit), are then subtracted from the tax, which lowers what you actually pay.

What is the 30%-ruling and how does the toggle work?

The 30%-regeling lets eligible incoming employees receive up to 30% of their salary tax-free in 2026 (dropping to 27% from 2027). With the toggle on, only 70% of your gross is treated as taxable, so the tax owed falls and your net rises.

Is vakantiegeld included in the net figure?

No. Vakantiegeld (8% holiday allowance) is shown separately because it is reserved through the year and usually paid as a lump sum in May. The net per month and per year here are based on your regular gross salary.

Does this give my exact take-home pay?

No, it is an estimate. It excludes pension premiums, the income-dependent Zvw healthcare contribution, employer costs, and any personal deductions such as mortgage interest relief. Your payslip may differ. Not tax advice.

About this tool

This calculator applies the official 2026 Box 1 brackets for people below AOW age together with the algemene heffingskorting and arbeidskorting to turn a gross annual salary into a net figure per month and per year. It also breaks out the income tax, the two credits, the average and marginal rates, and the 8% vakantiegeld.

An integrated 30%-ruling toggle reduces the taxable base to 70% of gross for eligible incoming employees, a feature most free calculators leave out. Everything runs in your browser; no data is sent to any server. It is an estimate and not tax advice.
