The self-employed have to face the payment of a series of contributions throughout the year, an aspect that has been generating debate for several years. The last factor that has raised controversy among the group is the self-employed fee: why? How much is paid in 2022?
As the vast majority of freelancers know, last year self-employed workers paid a monthly fee of 286 euros to be able to carry out their activity.
Self-employed quota: how much is paid?
However, as the Government has already warned on several occasions during the previous year, the self-employed will have to pay 294 euros per month during 2022, when the minimum is quoted.
However, in cases where the maximum is quoted, the amount will rise to 1,266.66 euros per month. That is, 960 and 4,140 euros per year, respectively. “But why do I have to pay this fee every month?”
Where does the freelance quota go?
The self-employed have to finance a series of contributions that will eventually end up in the form of benefits and subsidies. In this way, your quota is divided into a series of percentages:
– Common contingencies: 28.3% of the fee.
– Professional contingencies: 1.3% of the fee.
– Cessation of activity: 0.9% of the fee.
– Vocational training: 0.1% of the fee.
Specifically, self-employed workers are investing in paying:
– Common contingencies: 271.84 euros.
– Professional contingencies: 12.48 euros.
– Cessation of activity: 8.64 euros.
– Professional training: 0.96 euros.
Self-employed flat rate
On the other hand, entrepreneurs, those who start working as self-employed, have a reduction in the monthly fee they must pay.
This bonus is designed for the first years of the business, those in which it is more difficult to develop the activity, in such a way that the company can be properly founded.
Thus, the self-employed who begin to develop their activity have to pay:
– During the first 12 months: fee of 60 euros.
– Between months 13 and 18: fee of 143.10 euros.
– Between months 19 and 36: fee of 200.30 euros.
However, in order to access this reduction in Social Security contributions, a series of requirements must be met:
– Not have been registered as self-employed during the last two years.
– Not being a self-employed collaborator. That is, a relative of the self-employed employer.
– Not being self-employed in multiple activities, those who work at the same time as employees.
– Have no pending debts with Social Security or the Treasury.
