The Dutch government has updated the personal contribution paid by displaced people from Ukraine who live in municipal reception and have sufficient income. From 1 August 2026, the maximum operating-cost contribution is €244.22 per adult per month, capped at €488.44 for a family with two adults.

If the reception facility also provides meals, the maximum meal contribution is €260.97 per adult and no more than €521.94 per family. A two-adult family receiving meals can therefore pay a maximum total of €1,010.38 a month.

The municipality decides whether a person must pay, based on income and family circumstances. Changes in income or household composition must be reported within the period set by the municipality; the government Q&A gives a two-week deadline. Check your municipality’s decision before paying.
