A complete, clear guide with calculation tool (€27.50)
Many people in the Netherlands wonder how much Box 3 tax they actually need to pay on their savings, investments, or other assets. With the rules changing almost every year, it can be difficult to understand what applies to your situation. That’s why we created this guide: clear, practical, and immediately useful.
With our professional Box 3 Tax Calculator (€27.50), you can determine your 2025 wealth tax in under one minute—without complex formulas or fiscal knowledge.
What falls under Box 3?
Box 3 covers all assets that make up your wealth, such as:
- savings
- investments
- second homes
- cryptocurrency
- other assets
Each year, the Dutch Tax Authority looks at your assets on January 1. That amount is compared to the tax-free allowance, and anything above that is taxed.
Why is the wealth tax changing?
In recent years, there has been much debate about the accuracy of the Box 3 system. The current method does not always align with the actual returns people earn on their assets. As a result, the government is developing a new Box 3 system based on real returns.
Until that new system is introduced, an interim method is used, with fixed (forfaitaire) return percentages per asset category.
Our calculator is fully updated with the 2025 Box 3 rules, ensuring you never pay too much—or too little.
How to calculate your Box 3 tax for 2025
The calculation consists of three steps:
1. Determine your total wealth
Add up all your assets and subtract any deductible debts.
2. Apply the tax-free allowance
A portion of your wealth is exempt from tax. Only the amount above this threshold is taxed.
3. Apply the forfaitaire return percentage
The government uses estimated return percentages for different asset categories, such as:
- savings
- investments
- real estate
The Box 3 tax is then based on these estimated returns, not on your actual earnings.
It may sound complex, but our calculator handles everything for you.
