Calculation of the Income Ceiling in 2024 for Tilburg

In Tilburg, the calculation of the income ceiling for social rental housing in housing association ownership follows strict national rules, based on the gross annual income of the tenant and any benefit recipients. For 2024, the same limits apply in Tilburg as nationally: €44,035 for a single person and €59,336 for a multi-person household. These amounts are indexed annually by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Local housing associations such as WonenBreburg and Sint Joseph check your income position via the Personal Records Database and the Tax Authorities. To calculate your personal income ceiling, add up all income sources: salary, benefits, pension, secondary income, and alimony, minus permitted deductions such as study costs or care costs. In Tilburg, where the waiting time for social rental housing is often more than 7 years, it is crucial to stay within the limit. In case of exceedance in 2024, an income-dependent rent increase of up to 6% above the regular increase follows, or a two-year departure period. Example: a couple from Tilburg with two children and a joint income of €65,000 exceeds the multi-person limit by €5,664, prompting action by landlord WonenBreburg. You can lodge an objection with the housing association or the court, supported by Article 1.1 of the Housing Act and the local rent policy rules of the municipality of Tilburg. Tip: update your income details in time with your Tilburg housing association via the Tenants' Portal and check the current status on tilburg.nl/wonen to prevent fines or forced relocation to the private sector.
