What is Vakantiegeld?

Vakantiegeld is an additional amount that employees receive on top of their regular salary. This money is usually paid out once a year and is intended to enable employees to finance their vacation. The concept of 'holiday allowance' originated in the Netherlands in the 1960s, when it became increasingly common for employees to go on vacation.

In 1968, the right to holiday allowance was enshrined in law. holiday allowance usually amounts to 8% of the gross annual salary and is paid out annually, often in May. Your holiday allowance is accrued between June 1 of one year and May 31 of the following year.

Although many choose to use this amount for a well-deserved vacation, it can also be interesting to use this extra bonus in a different way.
