OSVČs, sickness and maternity: where to start the financial plan

An overview for visitors who want to distinguish between drains, doses and their own reserve. Choose an article and follow-up calculation according to their situation.

This guide will help you to choose the right article and model calculation: from the establishment of business to the tax base to the reserve for illness or family planning.

  • Sickness: Check voluntary insurance and self-estimate benefits; without it, do not count on the model for the disability of the enterprise.
  • Maternal self-employed 2026: first the history of sickness insurance and entitlement to PPM, then the household budget.
  • PERSONAL versus EMPLOYMENT: compare real costs, contributions and money for families, not just invoicing and gross wages.

First three different questions

How much you have to pay, what benefit you are entitled to and how much household is left with three different things. The compulsory pension and health insurance of the self-employed does not replace voluntary sickness insurance. In turn, the own reserve is not a benefit from the state.

Your situationHow about checking first?What to follow
I'm starting a business.Authorization, registration, method of registration and main or secondary activity.Real expenses, household money, and a reserve for the first month.
I'm planning a baby as a child.Participation in sickness insurance and the time conditions of PPM at CSSZ.Budget during motherhood, expected income and planned reservation.
I want to protect my income from illnessThe insured foundation and the own estimate of the sickness, not the percentage of the invoicing.Necessary expenditure, reserve stamina and separate assessment of insurance contracts.
Compare the self-employed and self-employedSales, real costs, tax expenses, and gross wages.Available money after contributions and especially own old-age funding.

Sickness insurance: payment is not the amount of the benefit

The entitlement to sickness or maternity assistance depends on the specific conditions and history of the insurance. Login or higher payment at the last minute does not confirm the claim or the amount required. Therefore, check the documents for the CSIS before deciding what income you will use in the family budget.

Maternity and parental allowances are planned separately

PPM is a sickness insurance benefit; parental allowance is a separate aid with other rules. Neither is an automatic supplement to your income today. The article on the maternity self-employed persons states the conditions and approximate examples for 2026. use a confirmed estimate for your own plan and take into account other household income, irregular expenses and return to work.

Inflows, tax benefits and pensions are not the same calculation

The comparison between the self-employed and the employees on the web sets out the indicative annual contributions, tax and available money. The actual cost of the business differs from the expenditure applied. The old age and employer's contribution payments show separately, not as cash to be spent. The tax relief reduces the tax base when the conditions are met; it does not automatically generate a higher state pension.

On the contrary, the pension plan is based on your verified estimates of the CSZ. IOLDP helps to control the pension register, but does not itself determine the sickness, maternity or all types of pensions. The calculation does not include an estimate of entitlement by market, city or number of children.

What to prepare for consultation

  • Average income and actual cost of business, not just the best monthly invoicing.
  • The household budget and the available reserve, separated from operating money.
  • Verified estimates of benefits or pensions and confirmation of eligible tax deductions if you want to use them in the model.
  • Selected PDF from calculators as the basis for the interview; do not consider it a decision of the office or tax return.
