Calculate your exact Dutch net salary for 2026. This tool uses the official Belastingdienst (Dutch Tax Authority) brackets for the Expat Scheme, and automatically applies the minimum threshold partial allowance rules.
Note: This must be your total gross income, including 8% holiday allowance and bonuses.
Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate based on standard 2026 tax brackets. For definitive calculations, always consult a certified tax advisor or the Belastingdienst.

</div>To qualify for the 30% ruling in 2026, your taxable salary (the 70% part) must be at least €48,013(or €36,497 if you are under 30 with a qualifying Master's degree).
If your salary is not high enough to get the full 30% tax-free while still meeting the €48,013 taxable threshold, you do not lose the ruling entirely. Instead, you receive a partial allowance. Your taxable salary is locked at exactly €48,013, and the remaining amount of your gross salary becomes tax-free. Our calculator automatically handles this complex cumulative math for you.

This calculator only checks if you meet the tax ruling threshold. However, if you are moving from outside the EU and need a Highly Skilled Migrant Visa from the IND to enter the country, your gross salary must also meet the strict IND immigration requirements.
Note: The IND calculates this strictly on your gross monthly wage excluding the 8% holiday allowance. Always verify with your employer that your gross salary passes the IND visa check, not just the tax check!
