Compare your options and optimise your remuneration
Under these assumptions, SASU leaves €1,571 more net cash than EURL.
Reading assumptions: SASU dividends are calculated after corporation tax and then the 31.4% flat tax. EURL is compared on a 100% self-employed remuneration route with simplified income tax based on one tax share. EURL dividends are not modeled here because they depend in particular on the 10% capital, premium and shareholder current-account threshold.
