How much money am I allowed to have for remission?
To be eligible for remission, you may not have more than a certain amount in your bank and savings accounts. We call this the standard amount. The amount depends on your personal situation. The number of people you live with, for example. We will be happy to explain it to you.
Add 1 month's rent and 1 month's health insurance premium to the standard amount that applies to you. This is the maximum amount you are allowed to have in your account.
Do you have more money than the maximum allowed amount? Then unfortunately you are not entitled to remission.
