Income limits for the healthcare allowance in Rijswijk
For residents of Rijswijk, your income mainly determines whether you are entitled to the healthcare allowance (zorgtoeslag), a contribution towards your health insurance premium. The lower your income, the higher the allowance; above a certain income limit the entitlement ends. An asset limit also applies.
How the income limits work
The Tax Administration (Dienst Toeslagen) looks at your assessment income. At a low income you receive the maximum allowance; as your income rises, the allowance tapers gradually to zero at the income limit. If you have an allowance partner, the combined income counts. The healthcare allowance has no separate amounts per child: support for children runs via the child-related budget (kindgebonden budget), not via the healthcare allowance.
Healthcare allowance limits in 2026

| Single | €40,857 | €129 |
| With allowance partner (combined income) | €51,142 | €246 |
Asset limit
In 2026 your assets on 1 January may not exceed €146,011 (single) or €184,633 (with an allowance partner). Above that, the entitlement to the healthcare allowance ends regardless of your income.
Rights and obligations
You receive a provisional allowance based on an estimated income; if you received too much, you repay it. Report income changes via Mijn Toeslagen. You can object to a decision within six weeks. Does the number of children affect it? No, not the healthcare allowance — that is the child-related budget.
