What does this calculator compare?

The calculator shows how much you actually keep from your income, depending on the legal form you choose:

  • SRL with profit tax (16%): for businesses with high expenses or income above the micro-enterprise ceiling
  • SRL micro-enterprise: a flat 1% rate on income, for turnover under 100,000 EUR (see SRL price details)
  • PFA real income system: 10% income tax on net income, with CAS and CASS contributions in bands (see PFA price details)

Enter your estimated annual income and your deductible expenses, then press Calculate.

After the result, we give you an interpretation of the figures and show you your options for SRL setup or PFA setup.

Important: The calculation is indicative. It does not include the PFA income norm (it varies by county: check on the ANAF website) and it is not tax advice.

The calculator, in short

  • You compare three options on your estimated income and expenses: an SRL with profit tax, a micro-enterprise SRL and a PFA under the real income system.
  • Accounting is included in the calculation: SRL 49 €/month, PFA 39 €/month with the Single Tax Return (Form 212) included.
  • The result is a simplified estimate; you make the final choice with your accountant, on your specific situation. The differences that are not about tax (liability, accounting, how you take money out) are in SRL or PFA in 2026: the full comparison.
  • If you decide to start, setting up an SRL or a PFA costs 599 RON, and the first month of accounting is free for newly founded companies.
