Autónomo — estimación directa simplificada — The standard route for the self-employed: real income minus deductible expenses; applies while prior-year turnover is within EUR 600,000.
Fits what you entered in the form.
Left after tax and contributions: €34,359
Régimen especial de impatriados (art. 93 LIRPF, 'Ley Beckham') — You are moving to Spain after 5 tax years as a non-resident, with a certified entrepreneurial activity or as a highly qualified professional working for a start-up; runs for up to 6 years.
Not available with your inputs: Open only to these activities: certified entrepreneurial activity, highly qualified professional startup (activity not specified)
Ticking a box is your own confirmation, not advice — the conditions come from the same verified sources as the rates.

Figures not yet fixed for this tax year
These amounts are applied in practice, but the text that fixes them for this tax year does not exist yet: either the statute has not been passed, or the body that sets the figure publishes it later than the year it applies to. We show them because leaving them out would give you a worse answer, not a safer one — and we show you exactly what each one rests on.
- regimes[0].reduced_contribution.amount_per_period (EUR 80/month, tarifa plana) — EUR 80/month was fixed by law only for 2023-2025 (DT 5ª RDL 13/2022); from 2026 the amount must be set by the annual Budget Law, which has not been passed (budget rollover). No norm of statutory rank sets the 2026 figure. Seguridad Social nevertheless applies EUR 80 de facto and publishes the 2026 tables with it. Publishing it is less wrong than omitting the reduced cuota altogether, which would overstate a new freelancer's first-year cost by roughly EUR 1,400. (what we relied on) · we re-check after 2026-12-31
- regimes[0].reduced_contribution.surcharge_per_period (EUR 8.64/month, MEI on top of the reduced cuota) — Derived from the total of EUR 88.64/month that Seguridad Social publishes for 2026 (88.64 - 80.00). It rests on the same unpassed Budget Law as the EUR 80 itself, and the MEI base used by the administration to reach 88.64 is not stated in any norm we could open.
