OSVČ vs. s.r.o. 2026: Which pays off more?

Save on contributions and taxes: A clear comparison of the two main business structures in the Czech Republic.

Are you planning a large business or transitioning from traditional employment? Enter your expected income and find out whether self-employment (OSVČ) or a s.r.o. / limited liability company (Ltd.) is more advantageous for you.

Secondary (part-time) activity typically applies when you are employed, studying, or on parental leave. i With secondary activity, minimum social security and health insurance contributions are not required.
Not sure what to choose? Most beginners use flat‑rate expenses. i 80 % of income – craft trades and agricultural pro­duction
60 % of income – other business activities (e.g. free trades)
40 % of income – liberal professions, author activities
30 % of income – rental of property not included in business assets
A s.r.o. cannot apply flat-rate expenses – therefore this is an estimate of actual costs. i The percentage estimates are designed for quick and simplified comparison, but represent an indicative model of s.r.o. outcomes:

25% (conservative) – low costs, minimal services, minimal optimization
35% (realistic) – common practice for small and medium-sized s.r.o. companies
45% (optimized) – higher costs, tax optimization, additional services

Actual costs – enter your company’s own annual expenses for a more accurate calculation result.
