Quickly find answers to common questions
Who is eligible for zorgtoeslag?+
You may be eligible if you have Dutch health insurance, your income is below the threshold (€40,857 single / €51,142 couple in 2026), and your assets are below €146,011 (single) / €184,633 (couple).
How much zorgtoeslag can I receive in 2026?+
The exact amount depends on your income and household situation (single vs couple). In general, lower income means higher zorgtoeslag. Use the calculator for an estimate for 2026.
When should I apply for zorgtoeslag?+
Apply via toeslagen.nl as soon as you have Dutch health insurance and 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).
Does zorgtoeslag count as income?+
No, zorgtoeslag is not taxable income. It does not affect your income tax calculation or other benefits. It is a subsidy to help pay for mandatory health insurance.
What happens if my income changes during the year?+
Report income changes to Belastingdienst/Toeslagen via toeslagen.nl. Your zorgtoeslag will be adjusted accordingly. Report changes promptly to avoid repayment later.
When is zorgtoeslag paid?+
Zorgtoeslag is paid on the 20th of each month (or the next working day if the 20th is a weekend/holiday). The amount is 1/12 of your annual entitlement.
