Kindgebonden budget
Child-related budget supplement
Up to €5,500/year in extra child-related budget — an income-tested supplement on top of kinderbijslag, often missed by single parents.
Start application →Kindgebonden budget is an income-tested top-up from the Belastingdienst Toeslagen for families with children under 18, paid in addition to SVB kinderbijslag. 2026 amounts (approximate): €1,829/year for the 1st child, €1,778 for the 2nd, €1,250 for each additional child. Single parents receive a substantial 'alleenstaande-ouderkop' (single-parent supplement) of about €3,500 extra/year. The budget tapers at higher incomes and stops around €30,000 (single) or €40,000 (with allowance partner). Apply via Mijn Toeslagen with DigiD; many parents are auto-enrolled at the birth of a child if they already receive other allowances.
