- The standard route for a self-employed professional: net business income is taxed on the progressive scale (9–44%, reformed down for 2026 under Law 5246/2025), and EFKA social insurance is paid as a fixed monthly class (six classes; the minimum Class 1 is €250.53/month in 2026, covering main pension + health), deductible from taxable income. The trade tax (τέλος επιτηδεύματος) is abolished. A presumptive minimum income applies only if you declare less than a minimum-wage-based floor — irrelevant at €60k.

EFKA is modeled at the minimum Class 1 (€250.53/month, 2026, +2.5% on 2025); the six classes let a freelancer choose higher contributions for a higher pension. New professionals get reduced contributions in their first years (not modeled). Actual business expenses reduce the taxable base (examples assume none). The presumptive minimum net income (τεκμαρτό, up to €50,000, based on the minimum wage + years in business + payroll) only raises the base if you declare less than it — it does not bite at €60k. NOT modeled: mandatory supplementary/lump-sum insurance for certain regulated professions, and DTA relief.
