Housing Allowance Calculator

The maximum rent (kale huur) for huurtoeslag eligibility in 2026 is €932.93 per month.

You need to rent a qualifying home, have rent below the maximum, income below the limit, and assets below the threshold. Age and partner status also affect eligibility.

Yes, under 23 a lower rent cap can apply (kwaliteitseis). Over 23 the standard cap applies.

Only certain service costs count, and they are capped. The calculator includes an input for eligible service costs.

The amount depends on your rent, income, and household situation. Maximum huurtoeslag can be several hundred euros per month. Use our calculator for your personalized estimate.

There is no single flat maximum amount for everyone in 2026. The highest monthly huurtoeslag depends on your rekenhuur, age, household type, and income. In practice, the maximum support is usually reached when rent is near the 2026 cap and income is very low. Use the calculator to estimate your personal maximum.

Yes, students can receive huurtoeslag if they meet all requirements. However, if you receive studiefinanciering, this counts as income. Student housing must be independent (self-contained).

Apply as soon as you meet the requirements. In general, you can still apply for a given benefit year until 31 December of the following year (check toeslagen.nl for the exact deadline). Apply via toeslagen.nl with your DigiD.
