Your first ~59k eur of savings is untaxed
You pay wealth tax (box 3) only on assets above the tax-free amount, so modest savers owe nothing. 2026 tax-free amount is 59,357 eur per person (118,714 eur for fiscal partners); above that a deemed-return tax applies. Good to know before assuming your savings account is taxed. Note: these same savings count against the asset limits for zorgtoeslag/huurtoeslag/kindgebonden budget.
