Dutch tax refund checker for 2020–2025
This checker lets you estimate Dutch tax refunds for tax years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 using the official rates and tax credits for each selected year. It is designed for employed expats who want a practical first estimate before starting the Benefitly flow.
Official tax estimate
Dutch tax refund checker for expats
Estimate whether your Dutch tax return will likely produce a refund using the official Box 1 rates, general tax credit and labour tax credit for the selected year. This quick checker is built for employed expats below AOW age using the figures from the jaaropgave.
If you only worked part of the year, this is often an M-form situation. The refund can be higher because tax was withheld month by month, but the final return uses annual brackets and annual tax credits.

What this checker uses
- • Official Box 1 income-tax rates for 2020–2025 non-AOW taxpayers
- • Official general tax credit and labour tax credit for each selected year
- • Your taxable income from Dutch work and total loonheffing withheld for the selected year
- • A standard employee-case model before special deductions and edge cases
What to do after checking
- • Use the loonheffing amount from your jaaropgave, not a monthly payslip guess.
- • If you only worked part of 2025, expect the M-form route to matter more.
- • If you have foreign income, partner allocation, mortgage interest or self-employment, do a manual review before trusting a rough estimate.
