Healthcare allowance to help you with the costs of healthcare

In the Netherlands, our government offers an allowance to help you pay for the health insurance Netherlands. If you come here to work, you can apply for a healthcare allowance at the Dutch tax office. How much you will get depends on your income. You can get a healthcare allowance:

• if you’re at least 18 years old;
• if you have a low or middle income;
• if you have a residence permit or are a resident of the European Union;
• if you work or are on benefits in the Netherlands. 

If you are insured through your employer, he or she can apply for the healthcare allowance for you. We developed an online portal in which this is possible.
