Compare the 4 main business statuses and find the one that maximizes your net income based on your activity.
How to choose your business status?
Choosing the right business status depends on many factors: revenue level, social protection needs, tax optimization, and growth plans. This simulator compares the 4 main statuses for freelancers and entrepreneurs.
Self-employed (Micro)
Simplified regime with flat-rate contributions. Ideal for testing an activity or moderate revenue.
SASU / EURL
Company with corporate tax, dividends, and ability to deduct actual expenses.
SARL
Majority manager (TNS) with lower contributions but reduced social protection.
Social charges: TNS vs employee-equivalent
In EURL and SARL, the manager is a non-salaried worker (TNS) with ~45% charges on salary. In SASU, the president is employee-equivalent with ~82% employer charges, but better social coverage. Self-employed pay a flat rate of 12-22% depending on activity.
Corporate tax, dividends and flat tax
In companies (EURL IS, SASU, SARL), profit after salary is subject to corporate tax (15% up to €42,500, 25% above). Distributed dividends are subject to a 30% flat tax. Optimization involves finding the right balance between salary and dividends.
