Social protection of the business manager
Verified 13 May 2026 - Entreprendre Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The head of a business is entitled to social protection in return for the social contributions and contributions levied on his income. The amount of social contributions and social benefits varies according to one's status: self-employed or similar employed person. We present you the different rules.
Leaders who have the status of self-employed persons (TNS) are as follows:
- Majority Associate Officer of SARL: titleContent
- Associate CEO ofEURL: titleContent
- Partner of CNS: titleContent
Other leaders have the status of equivalent employee.
Self-employed manager
The executive officer is subject to the following social contributions:
- Sickness and maternity contributions
- Old-age contribution (basic pension and supplementary pension)
- Disability-death contribution
- Contribution of family allowances
- Contribution to vocational training
- Generalized social contribution (CSG)
- Social Debt Repayment Contribution (SDRC)
Calculation rules
The officer pays in 2026 the contributions and contributions that correspond to the income of this year (share of his profits or remuneration).
However, this income will only be known by the administration from the 2026 tax return, in other words in April/June 2027.
We must therefore calculate so-called contributions provisional, that is to say calculated on the basis of the revenues of the years 2024 and 2025, pending knowledge of those of 2026.
Once the 2026 revenues are final, the amount of contributions will be adjusted.
Thus, the contributions and contributions paid by the executive officer in 2026 are calculated on the basis of the professional income for 2025 (reported in April/June 2026).
This 2025 income allows both:
- Regularize contributions paid in 2025 and early 2026
- Adjust the provisional contributions paid for the rest of 2026 and early 2027.
The professional income for the year 2026 (reported to the tax authorities in April/June 2027) will be used to recalculate and adjust the contributions paid in 2026 if necessary.
Calculation basis
Social contributions are calculated on the income used to calculate income tax (profits or remuneration), after the adjustments that are necessary to neutralize certain tax arrangements (such as exemptions for example).
Specifically, contributions, such as social contributions (CSG: titleContent and CRDS: titleContent), are calculated on the gross social income corresponding to the following amount:
- For the businesses subject to income tax (IR) : turnover - company expenses (other than tax-deductible social security contributions and CSG)
- For the businesses subject to business tax (IS) : remuneration and dividends - actual business expenses (other than tax-deductible social contributions and CSG).
One flat-rate abatement from 26% is then applied by theUrssaf: titleContent (this allowance is similar to social security contributions and the deductible CSG).
FYI
This calculation basis shall apply from April 2026.
It concerns:
- The income actually received in 2025, after their declaration to the tax authorities
- Final contributions for 2025
- Contributions for 2026 and subsequent years.
The Urssaf provides a simulator to help the manager calculate the amount of his social contributions based on his income:

The method of calculation and the rate applied vary according to the type of contribution and social contribution:

Health and maternity insurance contributions
The calculation of maternity and sickness insurance contributions is different depending on whether the director has been in office for less than 2 years or for more than 2 years.
Start of activity (less than 2 years)
When it starts as corporate officer, the officer has no revenue known to the administration on which to base the calculation of the provisional contributions and contributions. Thus, in order to benefit from social protection, lump sums are provided.
Start of activity in 2025 | Start of activity in 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
Lump sum | 94 | 96 |
In operation for 2 years or more
The income taken into account for the calculation of the contributions corresponds to the income that the officer declares for the calculating your income tax (IR) before the application of abatements and tax exemptions. In other words, it is:
- Remuneration (business subject to IS) or Industrial and Commercial Benefits (BIC) (business subject to IR)
- Dividends, for the fraction that exceeds 10% of the share capital held by the director
- Amounts collected under an incentive or participation agreement for the business
- Amounts paid by the business to the executive officer as part of a company savings plan or a group retirement savings plan
- Premiums paid under group insurance policies (e.g. job loss, retirement and supplementary pension)
- Optional top-up contributions paid by the manager (e.g. insurance and occupational diseases)
- Replacement income unrelated to long-term illness (LTD) (e.g.: per diem (IJ) maternity, paternity or sickness).
One flat-rate abatement from 26% is then applied to that income by theUrssaf: titleContent.
Health insurance contributions are divided into two parts: maternity health contributions and daily sickness benefit contributions. Each contribution has a specific rate:
- The rate of insurance contributions sickness-maternity varies according to the amount of the executive's income.
- The contribution rate of daily allowances is fixed. It is equal to 0.50%. Beyond €240,300, this rate increases to 0%.
The sum of these 2 rates gives the overall rate contributions to sickness and maternity insurance.
Warning
