• The final calculation happens in your tax return.

Who is it useful for?

• Students and (student) self-employed people with fluctuating income who want to compare scenarios.
• Parents/households estimating the tax impact of dependents.

How to use it

1. Open the tool.
2. Select your household situation.
3. Enter the requested income/situation data.
4. Compare 2–3 scenarios (low/mid/high income).

What to watch out for

• Income thresholds determine whether someone can be considered dependent.
• Exceptions (e.g. disability, shared custody) can change outcomes.
• Consider other systems too (child benefits, study grants) depending on your situation.
