Many women who work part-time would like to work more hours if barriers were removed. One of those obstacles is the lack of clarity about the benefits of working more, partly due to the complex tax system and benefits system. To give people a complete picture in a simple way of what working more or less means down the line, WOMEN Inc., the Nibud and the foundation Het Potentieel Pakken are launching the WerkHrenBerekenaar. Whether it concerns a few extra hours, or the switch from part-time to full-time:the WerkHurencalculaar shows you what it yields, without having to search through the maze of allowances and taxes yourself.
Make a conscious choice with the right information
It is essential that working more or less is a conscious choice, based on the right information. At the moment this is complicated, because not only the salary, but also allowances and taxes change regularly. It is difficult to calculate this yourself and there is a great fear of losing benefits, which quickly creates the idea that working more does not pay enough. In many cases, however, this is not the case and a few more hours of work can be very rewarding. Not only money in your wallet, but also more financial breathing space, independence and possibilities. For example, your income also affects the accrual of pension or eligibility for a mortgage.
