Applying for the child-related budget (kindgebonden budget) in Rijswijk
The child-related budget is a contribution from the Tax Administration towards the costs of raising children. The amount depends on your income, your assets and the number and ages of your children.
Amounts in 2026
Since 2024 the amount is no longer set per rank (first, second child) but per child by age:
| Age of child | Maximum per year (2026) |
|---|---|
| 0 to 11 years | €2,580 |
| 12 to 15 years | €3,283 |
| 16 and 17 years | €3,516 |
Single parents receive an additional increase (the single-parent supplement) of up to €3,320 per year.
Income and taper
You receive the maximum amount up to an income of €29,736 (single parent) or €39,141 (with an allowance partner). Above that, the budget tapers gradually. An asset limit also applies.
Applying in Rijswijk
In many cases the child-related budget is paid automatically if you already receive child benefit and are entitled to it. Otherwise you apply via Mijn Toeslagen with your DigiD. Report changes (income, a child reaching a new age band, family changes) promptly to avoid having to repay. For free advice you can turn to the Legal Aid Counter (Juridisch Loket) in Rijswijk.
