Effective keep rate
The share of every euro of revenue that ends up actually in your pocket, after every tax and cost along the way.
This single percentage summarizes the whole money flow: net in pocket divided by revenue. It captures the combined bite of business expenses, social contributions, corporate tax, personal tax and dividend withholding in one number, so you can compare structures and choices at a glance.
In the worked example
On the worked example for a freelancer in Netherlands with €115,500 of revenue, this line comes to 51,7%.
