See your net per month and per year instantly, with tax and credits broken out.
This calculator turns a gross annual salary into a net figure per month and per year. It applies the official 2026 Box 1 brackets for people below AOW age together with the algemene heffingskorting and arbeidskorting.
Everything runs in your browser and no data is sent to any server.
The calculation uses the 2026 Box 1 income tax brackets, then subtracts the two main tax credits: the algemene heffingskorting and the arbeidskorting. On top of that it accounts for the 8% vakantiegeld.
An integrated 30%-ruling toggle reduces the taxable base to 70% of gross for eligible incoming employees, a feature most free calculators leave out. Turn it on only if you qualify.
The result breaks out the income tax, the two credits, the average and marginal rates, and the 8% vakantiegeld, so you can see how the net figure is built from the gross.
This is an estimate and not tax advice. Your exact take-home pay can differ from the official figures, so treat the result as a guide rather than a final number.
Frequently asked questions
Box 1 income is taxed in progressive brackets: 35.75% up to 38,883 EUR, 37.56% from 38,883 to 78,426 EUR, and 49.50% above. Two payroll tax credits, the algemene heffingskorting (general credit) and the arbeidskorting (labour credit), are then subtracted from the tax, which lowers what you actually pay.
The 30%-regeling lets eligible incoming employees receive up to 30% of their salary tax-free in 2026 (dropping to 27% from 2027). With the toggle on, only 70% of your gross is treated as taxable, so the tax owed falls and your net rises.
No. Vakantiegeld (8% holiday allowance) is shown separately because it is reserved through the year and usually paid as a lump sum in May. The net per month and per year here are based on your regular gross salary.
No, it is an estimate. It excludes pension premiums, the income-dependent Zvw healthcare contribution, employer costs, and any personal deductions such as mortgage interest relief. Your payslip may differ. Not tax advice.
