A self-employed dental surgeon in France pays contributions on non-commercial profit, including health insurance, family allowances, pension with the CARCDSF, CSG and CRDS.
Between practice costs, equipment and contributions, disposable income is worth estimating before each major decision.
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. Dental Council fees 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. Investments, equipment depreciation, the 2035 return and a possible practice company need year-round follow-up. See healthcare professionals
Frequently asked questions
Does the health insurance fund pay part of the contributions?
Yes, for dentists under the national agreement: part of the contributions is covered, under the conditions of the agreement.
Where are pension contributions paid?
To the CARCDSF, the pension fund for dentists and midwives, for basic and supplementary pensions and, under the agreement, additional old-age benefits.
Is a self-employed associate (collaborateur libéral) covered?
Yes: they practise on a self-employed basis and pay contributions on their own profit. Fees paid to the practice holder are part of their expenses.
Is equipment deducted at once?
No: durable equipment is in principle depreciated over its useful life. Enter an annual expense that reflects this depreciation.
Are the results reliable?
The simulator is kept up to date with French social security rules by Urssaf. It gives an estimate: Council fees, insurance contracts and your personal situation can change the final figures.
