so in Slovenia the pension contributions are 25% + you have to add health insurance 13%?, plus income? in the UK the above amount to almost nothig: but then, of course you need your own pension scheme and health insurance. yes, it is a lot, but the point here is not just the amount, but what you get: with the Italian "Gestione Separata" pension fund you just waste your money (and is 27% of your income !).

The amount is split between you and your employer, but if you're self employed it doesn't really matter (and in any way, it's you who has to earn the company the whole amount). Here's the calculator: https://data.si/izracun-place/ https://data.si/izracun-place/ In "01 Plača" in "Plača" enter the gross monthly amount, and at the right side ("03 Izračun", there's "Strošek izplačevalca" (what the employer pays all together), and "Neto plača" (net pay you get).

Hah! Belgium, world tax champion, can do better than that! You have a salaried job. You set up a side gig after working hours. After business expenses, you pay: * (depending on the province) ~100€/year of flat rate provincial tax, regardless of income * 22% of independent contractor "solidary contribution", for which you get _literally_ nothing in return * if you have a somewhat decent paying main job, ~53.5% federal and local tax No wonder so many people's side gigs here either go unreported or show zero profit...
