In the past, there was a maximum amount that you were able to earn in each calendar year without having to pay back your grant. The maximum amount for 2019 was € 14.682,96. However, in 2020, the Dutch government got rid of the limit for the maximum amount a student could earn without having to pay back the grant.  Please be sure to check which rules apply to you based on the date of your study finance and your personal situation.
