Ejemplo 1 de 4: Marta in Madrid

Marta has just registered as an autónoma. She wants 2.000 € a month left over for herself, after the tax office and social security have taken their share. She works a six hour day, five days a week, and reckons about seven hours in ten are work she can actually put on an invoice.

Wants to keep	2.000 € a month, net
Business expenses	6.000 € a year
Working day	6 hours, 5 days a week
Billable	70 % of that
Time off	22 days holiday, 12 bank holidays, 5 sick
Tarifa plana	Entitled to it, but not entering it in the calculator
Comunidad	Madrid

To keep 2.000 € a month she has to invoice 40.147 € over the year: her own money, plus 6.000 € of expenses, plus 5.127 € of social security, plus IRPF on top of all of it.

After the holidays, the bank holidays, the sick days and the three hours in ten that go on quotes, invoices and email, she has 928 hours left to bill.

Her rate: 43,25 € per billed hour.

One discount she leaves switched off. As a new autónoma she is entitled to the tarifa plana for her first year, 88,56 € a month to social security instead of 427,21 €, and with it turned on the calculator answers 38,87 € an hour. She does not want that number. It is a first-year rate, and a year from now she would have to put it up in front of clients who had already agreed the lower one.

So she quotes the rate that works without the discount and puts the difference away: about 4.064 € over the first year. What an autónoma can count on from the state when the work dries up is thin, and that money is the nearest thing to a cushion the first year offers.

Ejemplo 2 de 4: Tom, invoicing London

Tom moved from England and kept his employer. He is on the books in Spain as an autónomo and sends them one invoice a month. The arrangement is unusually generous: they pay him for his holidays, they pay him when he is ill, and there are no other clients to quote for, chase or invoice, so an eight hour day is eight hours of work he gets paid for. He wants 2.500 € a month for himself and rents a desk at a coworking place.

Wants to keep	2.500 € a month, net
Business expenses	1.800 € a year, mostly the desk
Working day	8 hours, 5 days a week
Billable	100 % of that
Time off	Paid by the client, so he enters 0 days holiday, 0 bank holidays, 0 sick
Comunidad	Andalucía

He invoices 45.452 € over the year, of which 5.744 € is social security, and he has all 2.080 hours of a full working year to bill it in.

His rate: 21,85 € per billed hour.

That is half what Marta needs on the previous page, for more money in his pocket, and none of the difference is about the work being worth less. It is entirely that somebody else is paying for the holidays, the sick days and the unbillable hours.

Ejemplo 3 de 4: Diego, three days a week

Diego consults part time and has a young child at home the other two days. He wants 1.200 € a month for himself. He is in his first year, so he is on the tarifa plana: 88,56 € a month to social security instead of the full quota.

Wants to keep	1.200 € a month, net
Business expenses	2.400 € a year
Working day	6 hours, 3 days a week
Billable	75 % of that
Social security	Tarifa plana, first year
Comunidad	Valencia

He invoices 19.822 € over the year and has 536 billable hours to do it in.

His rate: 37,02 € per billed hour.

Two things worth noticing. He wants a bit over half of what Marta wants, but his rate is not far below hers: social security and the unbillable hours do not shrink with the working week the way the invoices do. And the rate above is a first year rate. When the tarifa plana runs out, the quota goes up and the same take-home needs a higher rate, so it is worth running the year after now rather than finding out in January.

Ejemplo 4 de 4: Ana and the van

Ana is an electrician in Zaragoza. She is out of the house at seven and back at six, but only about half of that is work anybody pays her for: the rest is driving between jobs, queueing at the wholesaler, writing quotes and going back to a flat whose owner was not in. She runs a van, carries her own tools and insurance, and wants 2.200 € a month for herself.

Wants to keep	2.200 € a month, net
Business expenses	14.000 € a year: van, fuel, insurance, tools, gestor
Working day	9 hours, 5 days a week
Billable	55 % of that
Time off	22 days holiday, 12 bank holidays, 8 sick
Comunidad	Aragón

She has to invoice 52.254 € over the year, of which 14.000 € leave her pocket immediately, and she has 1.079 billable hours to earn the money.

Her rate: 48,42 € per billed hour.

A customer hearing that thinks she earns 48,42 € an hour. Run the same year with a desk worker's costs instead of a van's, 2.000 € rather than 14.000 €, and the rate falls to 37,30 €. So roughly 11,12 € of every hour she bills is the van, the tools and the insurance driving themselves to your door. It is not margin, and it is the part of the bill that is hardest to see from the other side of it.
