The amount of AOW benefits is adjusted every six months. The amount is derived from the minimum wage and depends on your living situation. Do you live alone? Then your benefit is higher than if you are married or living together. Below you will find all information about your AOW benefit from 1 January 2022 in a row.
Benefit if you live alone 
Your holiday allowance is € 70,54 gross per month, € 846,48 gross per year, and will be paid net in May. Your holiday allowance has already been included in the gross annual amount above, but not yet in the monthly amounts.
Benefit per person if you are married or living together
Your holiday allowance is € 50,39 gross per month, € 604,68 gross per year, and will be paid net in May. Your holiday allowance has already been included in the gross annual amount above, but not yet in the monthly amounts.
Height of AOW franchises
In the Netherlands, we do not accrue pension over our entire income, but over a part: the pension base. This is your income minus the so-called AOW franchise. This will also change as of January 1.
If the pension accrual is lower than permitted for tax purposes, a lower AOW franchise can be used.
capping limit
In 2022, pension accrual will be tax-facilitated up to a gross salary of € 114.866.
