How we got there

The fine print. This is an estimate, not tax advice. Real outcomes depend on holiday allowance treatment, pension contributions, your exact tax situation, and your employer's payroll setup. The Belastingdienst makes the final eligibility call. Always confirm with a Dutch tax advisor before making decisions based on these numbers.
