What is Zorgtoeslag?

Zorgtoeslag is a government subsidy for basic health insurance (zorgverzekering). It is paid monthly by the Belastingdienst/Toeslagen and helps offset the cost of mandatory health insurance.

Who is eligible?

Dutch residents aged 18 and over with Dutch basic health insurance can qualify if their 2026 income is up to €40,857 without a toeslagpartner or €51,142 together with a toeslagpartner. Capital is also taken into account: €146,011 without partner or €184,633 together with a toeslagpartner.

Benefit amount

In 2026 the highest rounded monthly amount is about €129 for a single person and €246 for partners together. The exact amount decreases as income rises.
