Income tax 2026

Work out your 2026 Dutch income tax and healthcare contribution: employment, business or both. Includes tax credits, entrepreneur deductions and what to set aside each month.

Checked against the Belastingdienst's Payroll Tax Handbook 2026 and its published tables, to the euro.

Pick your situation and enter your figures; the result updates as you type. Every field has a question mark explaining what to enter and where to find it. New to the Dutch system? The explanations also cover the terms you will meet on your assessment.

Result

Enter an amount to see the result.

On salary, benefits and pensions the healthcare contribution is already paid or withheld by the employer or paying body. You only pay it yourself on your business profit, through a separate assessment.

An indication, not an assessment

This tool uses the 2026 rules and amounts as known at the time of publication, and deliberately leaves several things out — box 2 and box 3, allowances, home ownership and personal circumstances that can change your outcome. The result is therefore an indication to think and budget with, not a calculation you should base a decision on without discussing it. Only the assessment from the Belastingdienst is binding. Have your situation worked through before drawing conclusions from it.
