SRL vs PFA Income Calculator
How much actually lands in your pocket after taxes, depending on how you set the business up? Put in an income below and compare the three usual options for a game developer on the spot: SRL on micro, SRL on profit, and PFA in the real system.
How to read the result
- SRL Micro pays income tax (1% or 3%), not profit tax. Heads up: you must employ at least one person at minimum wage, so at low income the regime is negative on paper, but you still take home the salary.
- SRL Profit pays 16% profit tax, then 16% dividend tax when you take the money out, plus a capped CASS contribution.
- PFA real system pays 10% income tax, plus CAS and CASS computed on brackets of minimum wages and capped at the top.
The numbers start from the 2026 rules. If the law changes, open 2026 tax constants (editable) under the calculator and fix the values. They are saved on your device only.
Taxation in the real system is the standard way PFAs are taxed. You do not need to meet special conditions to use it.
