What is the freelance payment calculator?
The freelance payment calculator helps OSVC trade license holders to calculate payments to social security, health insurance, and income taxes. Use it to find your annual net salary after mandatory contributions and taxation according to your taxable income.
How much tax do freelancers pay in the Czech Republic?
There are two tax rates for Czech freelancers in 2025: the standard 15 percent, and the progressive 23 percent. Which tax rate you pay depends on your annual clean income. In 2025, the income limit for the 23% tax rate is average gross salary multiplied by 36. That is CZK 46 557 (average gross) x 36 = CZK 1 676 052. For earnings of this amount or lower, the 15% tax rate applies. Any clean income over this amount then has a 23 percent tax rate.

How does VAT work in the Czech Republic?
You have to register as a VAT payer in a number of cases. The first is if your annual turnover exceeds CZK 2 million. The second is if you received assets via privatization, a merger, or the sale of a company. Otherwise, you might choose to voluntarily pay VAT. In 2024, there are two new Czech VAT rates (the reduced 12 percent, and the standard 21 percent).
