Zorgtoeslag: monthly cash toward your health insurance most low/mid earners qualify for and never claim
If you are 18+ with Dutch health insurance and your income is under the limit, the government pays you monthly toward your premium. Worth up to 129 eur/month single (about 1,548 eur/yr) or up to 246 eur/month for a couple. How: apply at Mijn toeslagen with DigiD. Conditions (2026): income under 40,857 eur single / 51,142 eur with a partner; savings on 1 Jan under 146,011 eur single. Honest warning: if your year-end income turns out above the limit you must pay it all back, so update your estimate when your salary changes.
