Add up all your income for a month (and that of your partner). Even if your partner does not want to use the collective health insurance.

  • Income from employment, benefits or student finance (without holiday allowance).
  • Pension, partner alimony or maintenance contribution.
  • Other income (e.g. interest or rental income)
  • For married couples: the General Tax Credit Tax Credit (IB/PVV) for the least-earning partner
  • As a single parent, do you receive a child-related budget? Then you count 290 per month as income. The amount above that is not counted as income.

Don't count

  • Energy allowance or a contribution for energy costs from the national emergency fund
  • Rent allowance, healthcare allowance or housing allowance
  • Special wellfare
  • Child support
  • Child discount, combination discount and young disabled person discount
  • Part of a Child Budget: €290 is counted as income, the amount above that is not.
