    Choose your social security base according to expected income

    In 2026, the self-employed tax is calculated on net earnings forecasted. Declare the income you expect — if you earn more or less at year-end, adjustments will be made.

    !

    Expert tip

    "If starting without certain income, declare the minimum base (225 €/month). You can adjust this up to 6 times a year."

    Comply with quarterly tax obligations

    As self-employed, you must submit models 130 (IRPF) and 303 (IVA) each quarter via the AEAT's office. It is advisable to work with a consultant for the first few months.

    !

    Expert tip

    "Keep all receipts related to business activity from day one — these are deductible from IRPF and IVA."

Frequently asked questions

What is the self-employed tax in 2026?
The monthly contribution depends on your expected net income. The minimum is 225 €/month for incomes below 670 €/month. For an income of 2,000 €/month, the contribution is around 350 €. The maximum is 530 €/month for incomes above 6,000 €/month.
What is the self-employed flat-rate?
In 2026, the 'flat-rate' consists of paying only 80 €/month during the first year if it's your first registration as self-employed. From the second year onward, the contribution increases progressively to the standard rate.
Can I be self-employed and also work for another employer?
Yes. You can combine working for an employer (labor contract) with self-employment activity. In that case, you pay a reduced self-employed contribution if your income as a self-employed is low.
