The 'Micro-Entreprise' (commonly known as auto-entrepreneur) is the most popular freelance legal status in France due to its simplified bookkeeping and tax administrative requirements. Unlike standard companies, auto-entrepreneurs pay social contributions and income taxes directly as a fixed percentage of their turnover/revenue (Chiffre d'Affaires), meaning if you earn nothing, you pay nothing. The contribution rates depend on your type of activity (sales, services, or liberal advice). For income tax, you can choose between a progressive tax scale (after a business abatement) or a flat tax option called 'versement libératoire' (which allows you to pay a tiny fixed tax rate on your sales). This calculator models your net income after all taxes.

Methodology & Formula
This simulator calculates freelance taxes using standard URSSAF rules and tax codes:
- Social Contributions: Applied directly to your turnover: 12.3% for sales activities, 21.2% for commercial services (BIC), and 21.1% for liberal professions (BNC).
- Versement Libératoire (Flat Tax): If selected, adds a fixed income tax rate directly to your contributions: 1.0% for sales, 1.7% for services, and 2.2% for liberal professions.
- Standard Scale: If selected, calculates tax after applying an official cost abatement (71% for sales, 50% for services, and 34% for liberal professions) to find your taxable income base.
