What is the daily wage and why does it matter?
The daily wage (dagloon) is the amount the UWV uses to calculate your benefit. Your WW benefit is 75% (first two months) then 70% of your daily wage. A daily wage set too low means a structurally lower benefit.
How does the UWV calculate the daily wage?
Based on your total social insurance wage in the reference year, divided by 261 working days. This includes gross salary, holiday pay, overtime, bonuses, and 13th month.
Common calculation errors
- Overtime, bonuses or allowances not included
- Incorrect reference year used
- Daily wage guarantee not applied
- Income from multiple employers not fully counted
