Holiday allowance

The holiday allowance for your AOW pension is paid net in May. How much you can get is different for everyone and depends on your personal situation, for example whether you share a household with another adult or you live alone. It also depends on whether or not you get a full AOW pension .

As from May each year, you can see the net amount of your annual holiday allowance in My SVB under ‘Payments’.

Holiday allowance is less than 8% of the gross AOW pension.

AOW holiday allowance is a fixed monthly amount, based on the Dutch minimum wage. As the minimum wage is adjusted every year in January and July, AOW holiday allowance is also adjusted twice a year in January and July.
