How the Hungary White Card Income Calculator works

Required = Base + Family add-ons, Base = k × Indicator (or a fixed amount), Margin = Income × FX ÷ Required − 1

This page uses the same method as the Digital Nomad Visa Eligibility Checker, which explains each term and assumption in full.

  2. 2At €0.88 per US dollar (ECB, 2026-09-24), $4,000 a month is €3,518.96

Frequently asked questions

How much income do I need for the Hungary White Card in 2026?

€3,000 a month for a single applicant, read as net income over the last 6 months. Family members cannot join on a White Card.

Can my family join me on a Hungarian White Card?

No. The White Card does not allow family reunification, so a partner or children need their own basis to live in Hungary.

Can I renew the White Card?

Once, for another year. It does not lead to permanent residence, and you cannot switch to another permit type from inside Hungary on it.

How is the White Card taxed?

Stay under 183 days a year and your foreign income is not taxed in Hungary; beyond that the flat rate is 15%.
