Sources and assumptions
Calculation assumptions
- This calculator hard-codes no statutory rate: the suggested defaults are orders of magnitude to adjust to your status, not official rates — hence no reference year on this page.
- Simplified sequential chain: social charges then tax on the remainder — exact rates depend on your status (TNS, SASU, micro, umbrella).
- Adjustable charge and tax rates (defaults: 22% social, 30% flat-tax-like income tax).
- 220 billable days by default — an input assumption, not a legal or statistical reference: adjust for holidays, bench time and prospecting.
