Salary simulator

The salary simulator offered on the website provides an indicative estimate of potential net income, based on the information entered by the user and on the social and tax parameters built into the simulator at the date of its use.

The results provided by the simulator are given for information purposes. They constitute:

• Neither a contractual offer;
• Nor a commitment by LINKAO;
• Nor legal, accounting or tax advice;
• Nor a guarantee of the amount actually paid.

The pay actually received under an umbrella-employment (portage salarial) contract depends in particular on the consultant’s situation, the terms of the mission, the contractual elements and the parameters applicable when the payroll is drawn up.

In case of any difference between the simulator’s results and the pay actually received, the employment contract, the applicable contractual documents and the pay slips prevail.
