# Dutch Student Finance Calculator

`POST /api/v1/tools/dutch-student-finance-calculator`

## Request

- Auth: HTTP bearer

Estimate what DUO pays a Dutch student each month: the basisbeurs for mbo or hbo/wo, living at home or away, plus the aanvullende beurs that follows the parents' income, and the student travel product. The middle income band returns a range rather than a number, because DUO phases the aanvullende beurs out between roughly EUR 41,500 and EUR 70,000 of combined 2024 parental income. An indication, not advice: the official 2026 DUO amounts are indexed during the year.
