How accurate is it?
Tested against the official checker
We entered real homes in the Huurcommissie’s own Huurprijscheck and in our calculator. Every category came out the same, to the quarter point. These comparisons run as automated tests on every change we make, so the calculator cannot drift away from them.
Last compared with the official Huurprijscheck on 31 October 2026, using the rules and rent tables for 2026.

Also checked against the law’s own examples
- WOZ points: €440,188 over 70 m² gives 49.5 points, the worked example in the 2026 rules.
- The WOZ cap: a home with 109 + 109 points is capped and lifted to 186 points, as in the official example.
- The 2026 rent table: 143 points is €932.93 and 186 points is €1,228.07.
Where an estimate can differ
- Kitchen and bathroom fittings are entered in a few simple categories. The official check counts every item, so a very well equipped kitchen can score a little higher there.
- Special cases we do not cover: listed monuments, care homes, new builds with an agreed surcharge, and homes renovated with a separate agreement.
- Your result is only as good as what you enter. The full report reads the surface area and rent from your contract to avoid typing mistakes.
