Pay and management fees
Understand how your revenue becomes a salary, and what the management fee covers.
Your salary
How is my net salary calculated?
Your salary is based on the revenue (excluding VAT) invoiced to your client:
- Revenue invoiced, excluding VAT
- Minus Kaiporting’s management fee (4%)
- Minus employee and employer social contributions
- Plus your reimbursed business expenses, free of contributions
On average, you receive 60 to 65% of your revenue as net pay, excluding business expenses. Try the simulator.
When is my salary paid?
Each month, you declare your activity; Kaiporting invoices your client and pays your full salary and benefits before the 30th of the month. Approved business expenses are reimbursed with your salary.
Is there a minimum salary?
Yes, the collective agreement sets a minimum gross monthly pay, expressed as a percentage of the monthly social security ceiling (PMSS):
- Junior umbrella employee (under 3 years of seniority): 70% of the PMSS
- Senior umbrella employee (at least 3 years): 75% of the PMSS
- Employee on a days-based package: 85% of the PMSS
A business development allowance of 5% of gross pay is added, recognising your prospecting work.
Can I freely negotiate my daily rate?
Yes. You set your average daily rate with your client. Your account manager can advise you on market practice and help you prepare the negotiation, but the decision is yours. The Digital Kit includes a sheet on negotiation.
Management fees
How much are Kaiporting’s management fees?
The management fee is 4% of revenue excluding VAT, all inclusive, whereas the market usually charges between 5 and 10%. There are no company set-up costs and no accountant fees.
Example: on €5,000 invoiced, €200 in fees versus €350 at a 7% rate, about €1,800 net saved per year at constant activity.
What do the management fees cover?
- Drafting employment and service contracts
- Invoicing your clients and following up payments
- Payroll and salary payment
- Filings with social and tax bodies
- Training funding requests
- Support from a dedicated account manager
Is umbrella employment more expensive than other statuses?
In charges, yes: it deducts full social contributions and management fees. In return, you get unemployment insurance, the general pension scheme, health insurance and income protection, with no hidden costs and no paperwork.
