Estimate at 2026 rates, one income per offer. The 30% ruling is applied with the salary norm (€ 48.013 taxable salary), not its other conditions. A bonus counts as income in the year it's paid. Employer pension contributions, lease cars, travel allowances and other benefits aren't included; weigh those separately.
