Netherlands Severance Calculator 2026 (Transitievergoeding)
Calculate your Dutch transitievergoeding in 2026: one third of a monthly salary per year of service, including holiday allowance, up to €102,000.
The employer pays it from day one when it ends the contract or does not renew it, unless you are dismissed for serious misconduct. A court can add a fair compensation. The transitievergoeding is taxed as wages.
What it does
In the Netherlands every employee whose contract is ended or not renewed by the employer gets a transition payment (transitievergoeding): one third of a gross monthly salary for each year of service, and pro rata for the rest. The monthly salary includes the 8% holiday allowance, a fixed 13th month and regular overtime. In 2026 the maximum is €102,000 gross, or one annual salary if that is higher.
How to use it
- Type your monthly gross salary.
- Type the years and months of service and tick what your salary includes.
- Read the transitievergoeding.
