About Duit
A friend who's already figured out money in the Netherlands, helping you get yours sorted.
The story
I moved to the Netherlands for work. Within a year I was dealing with a payslip full of Dutch words, the 30% ruling, a tax return in a language I was still learning, and the question of where to invest without paying too much in fees and Box 3 tax.
The answers existed, but they were in Dutch, spread across forums, or written for people who already understood the system. So I worked it out myself and built the calculators I couldn't find.
Friends kept asking me how I did it. Duit is my answer, written down.
How Duit is made
- Every rule, rate and deadline comes from an official source, such as the Belastingdienst, and every guide lists its sources.
- Every tax figure says which year it applies to.
- The tools are updated after the government announces next year's plans each September.
- When a guide has been checked by a tax professional, it says so at the top.
- Spotted a mistake? Email hello@duitnl.com and I'll fix it.
How Duit earns money
Right now, it doesn't. The tools and guides are free, and they'll stay free.
In future, Duit may earn a referral fee when you sign up for a service it links to, such as a money transfer service or an expat tax firm for complex returns. Every referral link will say so next to it, and it will never change what you pay. Duit will never take a fee per sign-up for brokers, insurance or mortgages.

What Duit isn't
Duit gives general information and tools. It isn't a tax adviser, and it never tells you what to buy or how to handle your own case. If your situation is complicated, a Dutch tax adviser (belastingadviseur) is worth the cost.
