Estimate your 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>Under the ordinary salary test for the 30% ruling in 2026, your taxable salary after the exemption must be higher than €48,013(or €36,497 if you are under 30 with a qualifying Master's degree). Other eligibility conditions also apply.
If the full exemption would reduce taxable salary below the required level, a partial allowance may apply. This estimate conservatively leaves at least €48,014 taxable salary under the ordinary test, or €36,498 under the qualifying reduced test. Your employer must confirm eligibility and the actual payroll calculation. See the official salary conditions.

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!
