2026 rules
How a PFA’s net income is calculated in 2026
The calculator starts from yearly revenue and expenses. Net income is revenue minus expenses. From it the health contribution (CASS), the pension contribution (CAS) and income tax are deducted, and what remains is your income after tax, also shown per month.
The contributions, in plain terms
CASS 10%. It applies to net income on a base of at least 6 and at most 72 minimum wages. With the reference minimum wage of 4,050 RON, the minimum CASS is 2,430 RON a year and the maximum 29,160 RON a year.
CAS 25%. It is due from a net income of 12 minimum wages (48,600 RON). The base is 12 minimum wages (CAS 12,150 RON) or 24 minimum wages (CAS 24,300 RON) from a net income of 97,200 RON. Below 48,600 RON the contribution is optional, and you can choose it in the calculator.
Income tax 10%. It applies to net income after deducting the CAS and CASS due. CASS is deductible only up to 10% of net income (any top-up to the 6-minimum-wage floor is not deductible).
Worked example
Revenue of 100,000 RON and expenses of 20,000 RON give a net income of 80,000 RON. CASS is 10% of 80,000, that is 8,000 RON. CAS is calculated on a base of 12 minimum wages, that is 12,150 RON. Income tax is 10% of 59,850 RON (80,000 minus CAS and CASS), that is 5,985 RON. You keep 53,865 RON a year, about 4,489 RON a month.
