ABOUT THIS TOOL
How the freelancer net income calculator works
What it estimates
Your profit, income tax and Zvw contribution, and what you keep per month and per year as a sole trader (eenmanszaak).
How to read the result
Net per month is your profit after income tax and Zvw, spread over twelve months. Revenue and costs are excluding VAT.
Who it's for
Freelancers and people starting a business who want to know what they will really earn before setting rates or going full-time.
Good to know
It assumes box 1 income from your business only. Tick the 1,225-hour criterion and starter options only if they apply to you.
Freelancer income questions
Quick answers about what a ZZP'er keeps.
What is the 1,225-hour criterion?
You need to spend at least 1,225 hours a year on your business to claim the self-employed deduction and, if eligible, the starter deduction.
Why is VAT not included?
VAT you charge is not your income. You pass it on to the Belastingdienst, so the calculator works with amounts excluding VAT.
What is the Zvw contribution?
The income-related healthcare contribution freelancers pay on their profit. It is calculated through your income tax assessment.
Does it work for a BV?
No. A BV pays corporate tax and you pay yourself a salary or dividend. This calculator is for sole traders.
