Self-employed allied health professionals in France pay contributions on non-commercial profit, including health insurance, family allowances, pension with the CARPIMKO, CSG and CRDS.
Before setting up, investing or joining a practice, it helps to know what you will actually keep.
What the simulator calculates
- Detailed social contributions
- Net income, before tax
- Income after French income tax
- Monthly or annual figures
- The effect of different fee and expense assumptions
The simulator covers practice in your own name (non-commercial profits). It does not cover professional practice companies. Professional order fees, for professions that have one, are not calculated: add them to your expenses.
This official simulator is provided by Urssaf, the French social security agency (mon-entreprise.urssaf.fr). It loads from its website when you start it.
Indicative result, based on the figures entered and the rules known to date. It is no substitute for professional analysis: check your situation with a chartered accountant before deciding.
What next?
The simulator gives an order of magnitude. Bookkeeping, actual expenses (car, practice, equipment) and the 2035 return need year-round follow-up. See healthcare professionals
