How does it work?
Box 1, box 2 and box 3 each have their own rate. The calculator adds up the tax of the three boxes and subtracts the tax credits. The general tax credit depends on your aggregate income (verzamelinkomen), the labour tax credit on your income from work (salary and profit).
The calculator rounds like the Belastingdienst: down per bracket, to whole euros.
