Micro-entrepreneur's income

Verified 30 August 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

As a micro-entrepreneur, your remuneration depends on the turnover generated by your activity.

The amount of your micro-company's turnover is the sum of your sales (goods and services) over a period of time equal to 12 months. This period is referred to as a exercise.

The amount of your turnover must be declared online to the tax administration and the Urssaf so that taxes and social contributions are collected.

The amount of contributions and income tax due is automatically calculated based on the rate corresponding to the activity at the time of reporting.

As a micro-entrepreneur, you don't have a salary per se. The amount of your income will depend on your profit: that is, the amount remaining after all expenses have been deducted from your sales.

Examples of such charges are:

There is no rule, you can decide to pay yourself a fixed remuneration every month or from recalculate your compensation every month. However, your treasury must remain positive.
