Understanding how to calculate your taxes as a freelancer in the Czech Republic can be tricky. The Czech Freelance Trade License Calculator is here to help you figure out your taxes, social and health insurance payments, and your net income after taxes.
Let's break down how this tool works and how you can use it to manage your freelance finances.
What is the Czech Freelance Trade License Calculator?
The Czech Freelance Trade License Calculator is a simple tool made for freelancers and self-employed people in the Czech Republic. It helps you calculate:
- Income tax
- Health insurance contributions
- Social security contributions
- Net income after taxes and contributions
We update the tool regularly to keep it updated with the latest government rules and tax laws.
How to Use the Calculator
Step 1: Enter Your Gross Income
Start by entering your total income for the full year from your Czech Trade License. This is your gross income before any deductions and taxes.
Step 2: Apply Spouse Discount (if applicable)
If your spouse earns less than 68,000 CZK a year and is taking care of a child under 3 years old, turn on the spouse discount toggle. This discount will reduce your income tax.
Step 3: Apply Kid Bonuses (if applicable)
If you have children, turn on the kid bonus toggle and enter the number of kids you have. The kid bonus reduces your Czech income tax. If the bonus amount is higher than the income tax amount, the tool calculates a tax refund you can receive.
Step 4: Use the 60/40 Tax Method
This method allows you to deduct 60% of your income as expenses, even if you don't have any actual expenses. This means you only pay taxes on 40% of your income. Everyone can use this method.
Step 5: Click Calculate
After entering all the necessary information, click the "calculate" button to see your results. The calculator will show:
- Health Insurance: How much you need to pay for health insurance for the full year.
- Social Security Tax: How much you need to pay for social security for the full year.
- Income Tax: Your total income tax after discounts or tax bonuses.
Example Calculation
Let's say you earn 3,000,000 CZK a year, have one child, and use the 60/40 method. Here’s how the results might look:
- Health Insurance: 133,650 CZK
- Social Security Tax: 289,080 CZK
- Income Tax: 256,535 CZK
After these payments, your net income is 2,320,735 CZK.
You can also convert your calculations to other currencies by selecting the currency and entering your income amount.
