ABOUT THIS TOOL

How the healthcare allowance calculator works

What it estimates

How much zorgtoeslag you could receive per month and per year, based on your expected income, your assets and whether you have an allowance partner.

How to read the result

Below a certain income you get the maximum amount. Above it, the allowance tapers off until it stops at the income limit.

Who it's for

People with Dutch health insurance on a lower or changing income, including starting freelancers and students.

Good to know

If your assets are above the limit, you are not entitled at all. Base your estimate on your expected income for the whole year.

Healthcare allowance questions

What is zorgtoeslag?

Which income should I enter?
