Common Dutch benefits include zorgtoeslag (healthcare), huurtoeslag (housing), kinderopvangtoeslag (childcare), and kinderbijslag (child benefit).

Income limits vary by benefit. For example, zorgtoeslag has income limits around €40,857 (single) and €51,142 (combined) in 2026. Higher incomes may still qualify for reduced benefits depending on the benefit and situation.
