Use Nibud's berekenuwrecht.nibud.nl tool to anonymously and for free calculate in just 10 minutes which allowances (like healthcare, rent, or child benefits) you might be eligible for. Many expats may not realise they qualify.


  • Calculate Allowances: Input your family situation to quickly see which government benefits you can apply for.
  • Plan Finances: Use Nibud's budget tool to decide how to allocate your holiday pay for savings, debt repayment, or energy contracts.
  • Understand Taxes: Holiday pay is taxable. The tax-free portion under the 30% ruling isn't included in the base calculation, so the net amount might be less than expected.


When living costs rise, it's even more important to claim the benefits you're entitled to. We recommend using berekenuwrecht.nibud.nl first to check your eligibility, then plan how to use the money wisely.
