Compare an SL and freelancing starting from your real revenue and expenses, not a sample.
Income, expenses and quarter returns in one dashboard, so you decide with data.
While you decide, your self-employed tax deadlines keep reminding you.
Profit = income − expenses − self-employed fee − 5% hard-to-justify allowance (max €2,000). On that, income tax with the general scale and personal allowance. You keep: income − expenses − fee − income tax.
The SL pays the director's salary and its own costs, and pays corporate tax on what remains. You pay income tax and societary self-employed contributions on the salary and, if you distribute dividends, savings income tax on them.
What you keep in each case is compared. If you leave the profit undistributed in the SL, only the net salary counts: the rest stays in the company.
The calculation is repeated at different turnover levels, with your same expenses, salary and costs, to estimate from which turnover the SL leaves you more.

It compares the money you keep each year as a freelancer (income tax on your activity's profit) and as director of a limited company (corporate tax plus income tax on salary and dividends). It does not decide for you: money left undistributed in the SL still belongs to the company and has its own rules.
An SL tends to gain ground when profit is high and you do not need to draw all of it each year, because corporate tax is applied at a fixed rate while a freelancer's income tax rises by brackets. With moderate profit, the company's costs and the minimum societary contribution tend to weigh more. The calculator estimates the break-even with your numbers.
