Frequently asked questions

Can my final contribution be different?

Yes. You choose a base within the permitted band, and Social Security later adjusts the amount using your final income.

What if I am a company-linked self-employed worker?

Special minimum bases may apply. The calculator includes the relevant general floor, but your particular circumstances should be reviewed.

Does it include the flat-rate contribution?

No. The €80 amount was set on a transitional basis through 2025. If you are newly registered, the calculator reminds you to check the reduced contribution currently in force.
