Calculator 2026

Your 30% ruling advantage, in numbers.

Enter your gross annual salary. The calculator shows the tax-free allowance, the yearly and monthly net advantage, and the 2027 step to 27%.

Indication: the advantage equals the income tax otherwise due on the exempt part, estimated at your marginal 2026 rate. A minimum taxable salary norm applies (indexed annually; lower for young masters graduates), the ruling runs for a maximum of 60 months, and a salary cap applies at the WNT norm.

Plan the whole runway, including the end.

The ruling ends after 60 months at the latest — and that end is plannable: salary-dividend rebalancing, the holding as retention layer, and the timing of equity events. Read the 30% ruling in 2026 and when your ruling ends, or let the written consultation map your full picture — also as part of the wider advisory.

Frequently asked questions

How does the 30% ruling work in 2026?

Qualifying incoming employees may receive 30% of their salary as a tax-free allowance in 2026, for a maximum of 60 months. From 2027 the percentage steps down to 27%.

Is there a salary requirement?

Yes — a minimum taxable salary norm applies after applying the ruling, indexed annually, with a lower norm for young masters graduates. The calculator flags when your input sits near the norm.

Does the ruling work for a DGA of their own BV?

It can, when the DGA qualifies as an incoming employee and the salary meets the norm — a design question the written consultation answers for your case.
