How Dutch Income Tax Works

Dutch employment income is generally taxed in Box 1. The main structure is gross income, minus any Box 1 deductions, then Box 1 tax rates are applied. After that, the general tax credit and, where relevant, the employment credit reduce the final tax due.

The Calculation Flow

Gross income
+ 8% holiday allowance if paid separately
− optional Box 1 deductions
= Taxable income
Apply Box 1 brackets
= Gross Box 1 tax
− Algemene heffingskorting
− Arbeidskorting
= Final tax due
Net income = Gross income − Final tax
This page is indicative only. Payroll withholding and final assessment can differ.

AOW Handling

If you already reached AOW age, the first Box 1 bracket is lower because you no longer pay the AOW part of Dutch national insurance in that bracket. This page uses the published 2026 AOW bracket structure for full-year AOW cases.
