Czech Republic Freelancer: Fees, Taxes & Net Pay Example
Updated 2026-09-27 · Illustrative USD invoice · Not tax advice
Czech freelancers often operate as OSVČ (self-employed). Personal income tax uses progressive brackets (15% / 23%), and social and health insurance are tied to assessment bases — not one flat headline rate.
The example uses 30% on the post-fee balance as a simplified planning set-aside (tax plus part of social/health). Replace the tax percentage in UnFee with your accountant’s figure.
