Calculate the Dutch mileage allowance (2026)

If you drive your own car for work, every business kilometre is worth money — provided you record it. Enter your kilometres to see what you can deduct from your profit, and what you can put on an invoice.

Travel costs you invoice are turnover. They do not cancel out the deduction above.

An indication based on the 2026 rate, not tax advice. What you may deduct depends on your own situation.

What you may claim in 2026

The Dutch deduction for business travel in a private vehicle in 2026 is € 0.25 per kilometre, raised from € 0.23 with retroactive effect from 1 January 2026. You deduct that amount from your profit for business drives in your own vehicle, without having to keep receipts.

Deducting and passing on are two separate things

The € 0.25 per kilometre is a deduction in your own books. What you agree with your client about travel costs is something else: that goes on the invoice as a line and counts as turnover. One does not rule out the other, which is why the calculator above works out both.

What you need to be able to show per drive

  • The date of the drive.
  • The route, or at least the start and end address.
  • The business purpose: which assignment or client the drive belonged to.
  • An overview you can export when your accountant or the Belastingdienst asks for it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I invoice my client a different rate?

Yes — by agreement with your client you may pass travel costs on at another rate. What you invoice is turnover; the € 0.25 per business kilometre deduction is separate from it.

What do I need to keep per drive?

You must be able to substantiate your business drives. Records showing the date, the route and the business purpose of each drive are the usual evidence; you remain responsible for their completeness.
