ABOUT THIS TOOL

How the tax refund calculator works

What it estimates

Whether you can expect money back or need to pay extra, by comparing the wage tax already withheld with your actual income tax for the year.

How to read the result

A positive amount is an estimated refund. The breakdown shows your taxable income, income tax, tax credits and what was already withheld.

Who it's for

Employees and expats preparing their yearly return who want to know what to expect before they file.

Good to know

Find your withheld wage tax on your annual statement (jaaropgaaf). The estimate covers box 1 only, without box 2, box 3 or allowances.

Tax refund questions

Quick answers about getting money back from the Belastingdienst.

Why would I get a refund?

Your employer withholds wage tax every month as an advance. If deductions or tax credits mean you owe less over the full year, the difference is refunded.

Where do I find my withheld wage tax?

On the annual statement (jaaropgaaf) from each employer, or in your last payslip of the year.

Which deductions can I enter?

For example mortgage interest, specific healthcare costs and gifts to charity. The deductions calculator helps you work them out.

How do I actually claim it?

By filing your income tax return. Taxmo guides you through it in English and files it directly with the Belastingdienst.
