Want to know how much you’ll be spending on childcare each month? Use our handy tool. We’re here to help you find out how much Childcare Allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag) you can expect to receive each month and what your (net) hourly rate will be.
Through the Dutch Childcare Allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag) Dutch tax authorities reimburse a substantial portion of childcare costs, for children aged 0-12 years, to almost all families where both parents (or a single parent) are working or studying – irrespective of nationality or length of stay.
The amount you will get back is dependent on your combined gross income and the number of hours you and your partner are working/studying. Additionally, the childcare allowance is provided on a per-child basis, whereby an allowance is determined and provided for each child. The amount is substantial and increases significantly for siblings.
Parents apply for the allowance directly with the Dutch tax authorities and receive the amount on a monthly basis.
