How to use the Content Creator’s Tax Calculator?
Use this calculator to estimate income taxes as a content creator in the Czech Republic. This includes for YouTubers, digital performers, OnlyFans creators, online private content providers, and content producers of other online platforms. Results will help you compare tax reporting methods when filing earnings as hobby income versus as self-employed, freelance income. Simply input your annual gross income, and press calculate. The calculator will estimate your net earnings after taxes and payments to social security and health insurance (if any).
Which income from content production is taxable?
If you sell or produce content that generates earnings online, all of it is taxable in the Czech Republic. This includes income from subscription-based content platforms, online private content, and any content that generates revenue from views or ads. Taxpayers must declare income like this as either from self-employed business activities, or as hobby income.
Why is my freelancer income tax calculation zero?
Note: All personal income tax calculations include the standard taxpayer’s discount. This discount is available to all taxpayers in the Czech Republic. In 2026, the discount deducts CZK 30,840 from a tax rate of 15 - 23% based on net income. If the taxpayer’s discount is higher than the income tax amount, the tax amount is 0 CZK.
How much tax do freelance content creators pay in the Czech Republic?
Freelance creators are taxed like other OSVČ. Income is taxed at 15% up to the higher tax band and 23% above it. You can use the 60/40 expense method or real expenses. The calculator shows your estimated tax plus social and health insurance based on your yearly income.
Example of the 60/40 tax reporting method
Using the 60/40 method, let’s say you earned CZK 300,000 gross as a self-employed content creator last year. 60% of this will be cost allowance, amounting to fixed expenses of 180,000. The remaining 40% is taxable income, in this case CZK 120,000. Thus, the calculation becomes: 120,000 (taxable income) - 15% (tax rate) = CZK 18,000 (tax amount). However, there is still the basic taxpayer’s discount you claim. Thus, the final calculation in this individual case becomes: 18,000 (tax amount) - 30,840 (taxpayer’s discount) = CZK 0 (final tax amount).
What can I deduct from personal income taxes?
You can claim basic tax discounts (taxpayer, children, spouse with low income, etc.) and certain deductions, such as mortgage interest or pension savings if you qualify. In the calculator, you can turn on the discounts that match your situation to see how they reduce your final tax.
I want to start freelancing. How do I start?
If you want to start freelancing in the Czech Republic, you need to register a trade license (Živnostenský list). The Czech fair trade license is necessary to both officially invoice clients and to declare income from self-employed business activities. It registers the freelancer for specific business activities, and provides tax and business identification to invoice goods or services. Need help creating legal invoices, in Czech or English? Try Pexpat’s free, Czech Online Invoice Generator for automated, hassle-free invoicing.
How much are social security and health insurance?
Self-employed creators pay social and health insurance based on their profit and the current minimums set by ČSSZ and health insurers. The calculator uses the valid minimums and percentages for the year and shows your estimated deposits and any extra due after the tax return.
Can I declare income from content creation in EUR or USD?
Yes, it is possible to invoice in EUR or in USD. However, always add a note onto invoices stating the exchange rate from the Czech National Bank (CNB) on the date of issue. For example, an invoice label may state: “on 1.1.2026, the exchange rate of 1 EUR = 24.52 CZK.” In this way, you will be able to accurately and easily report earnings for your tax return in Czech koruna.
Do I pay taxes and insurance as a student?
Students earning less than CZK 86,000 annually do not pay any taxes or contributions to social and health insurance.
Why do many content creators choose to pay taxes in the Czech Republic?
Czech taxes for creators are low thanks to the 60/40 expense rule, the flat tax option, and the ability to report smaller earnings as hobby income. These rules keep creator taxes simple and affordable. Learn more in our guide: Low-Tax Czech Republic.
