What the calculator assumes

  • You have no other income and the business has no net assets, so the whole profit is taxed as earned income.
  • YEL contributions are deducted from the business profit, and then the 5% entrepreneur deduction (yrittäjävähennys) is applied.
  • You are 18–64, live in mainland Finland (not Ă…land) all year, have no children under 18 and claim no other deductions.
  • This is an estimate based on the 2026 tax rules. The final tax is set by the Tax Administration (Vero).
