Getting started

How do I sign up for KlusjeBij?
Go to klusjebij.app and create a free account. You can start with small jobs near you straight away.
Is KlusjeBij free?
Yes, signing up and using KlusjeBij is completely free. You only pay the helper for the work done.
Do I need experience?
Not for most small jobs. Anyone can do groceries, help with a move or walk a dog. Specialist work does require experience.
How old do I have to be?
You have to be at least 16 to use KlusjeBij. Some jobs have extra age requirements.

Earning

How much can I earn with KlusjeBij?
On average people earn €15-30 an hour. It depends on the type of job: gardening and small jobs around the house often pay better (€20-35/hour) than doing groceries (€12-18/hour).
How quickly do I get paid?
Payment is arranged directly between you and the person who posted the job. Most helpers get paid straight after the job, with a Tikkie (payment request) or in cash.
Can I set my own rate?
Yes, for some jobs you can state your own rate. For other jobs the poster suggests a rate.
How many hours can I work?
As many or as few as you like. There are no minimum hours. Some people do 2 hours a week, others 40.
Do I get paid for travel time?
That depends on what you agree with the poster. For jobs further away you can include travel costs in your rate.

Tax

Do I have to pay tax on my side income?
You have to declare all income to the Belastingdienst (the Dutch Tax Administration). But thanks to tax credits (heffingskortingen) you often pay little or no tax on small side earnings (up to ~€7,000 a year).
Do I have to register with the KvK?
Not always. For occasional small jobs you don't need to register with the KvK (Chamber of Commerce). If you work regularly for several clients, registration is often required.
Do I have to charge VAT?
No. If you use the small business scheme (kleineondernemersregeling, KOR) and turn over less than €20,000 a year, you don't charge VAT (BTW).
Can I deduct costs?
Yes, you can deduct costs such as tools, travel (€0.23/km) and work clothes. Keep your receipts!
Does side income count for my student finance?
Your side earnings can affect your supplementary grant (aanvullende beurs). Check the current earnings limit with DUO, the Dutch student finance agency (about €16,000 a year).

Safety

How safe is KlusjeBij?
Every account has a verified email address and there is a review system. Payment is agreed directly between the poster and the helper, without KlusjeBij in between.
What if something goes wrong during a job?
Contact our support straight away. We help with disputes and have a protection policy for both helpers and posters.
Am I insured while I work?
Your own liability insurance (aansprakelijkheidsverzekering) usually covers damage you cause by accident. Check your policy or take out specific insurance.
How do I know a poster is reliable?
Check the reviews from other helpers, the number of completed jobs and how long someone has been a member. If in doubt, you can turn a job down.

Jobs

What kind of jobs can I do?
From gardening and cleaning to moving help, groceries, babysitting and dog walking. Anything people could use a hand with.
Can I choose which jobs I do?
Yes, you only reply to jobs you like. You're never obliged to take anything on.
How far from home are the jobs?
You only see jobs in your own area. You can set the distance from 1 to 25 km.
What if I can't finish a job?
Contact the poster as soon as possible. Cancelling at the last minute can lead to a negative review.
Can I post jobs too?
Yes! You can both do jobs and post jobs you need help with.
