YEL insurance
A light entrepreneur in Finland is insured either as an employee or as an entrepreneur. Social security legislation does not really consider light entrepreneurs as a group. But the term ‘light entrepreneur’ has been established in the language when referring to self-employment. All entrepreneurs, the self-employed, and light entrepreneurs are insured according to the Self-Employed Persons’ Pension Act (YEL).
Basic information about YEL insurance:
- All self-employed persons who are aged between 18-67 are required to insure themselves according to the YEL act if their working activities last for at least four months and their YEL income, ie. the value of their work, amounts to a figure of at least EUR 7.958.99 ( 2020 ) over a period of twelve months.
- Irregular but recurring entrepreneurial activity is tantamount to seasonal entrepreneurship and may require YEL insurance.
- YEL is the foundation of the entrepreneur’s social security system. Valid YEL insurance makes it possible for an entrepreneur to take out accident insurance.
- YEL income also determines sickness and parental benefits, as well as unemployment benefits.
- An entrepreneur can join the ‘Unemployment Fund for Entrepreneurs and the Self-Employed’ if their YEL income amounts to a minimum figure of EUR 13.076 (2020).
- A new entrepreneur will receive a 22% discount from their insurance premiums. If you are starting up your first business you will receive a 22% discount off your YEL insurance premium during the first four years. Your discount period starts when you take out YEL insurance for the first time.
- Self-employed persons pension contributions can also be fully deducted either in their personal or business taxation.
- YEL insurance premium is based on your YEL income. Your age affects your YEL percentage: anyone who is under 53 and over 62 years of age will pay 24.1% of their income, while anyone who is between 53-62 years of age will pay 25.6% of their income.
- As an entrepreneur you estimate your earned income, ie. the monetary value of your own work, but the pension insurance company will confirm that income figure. Your earned income should correspond to the annual salary that would be paid for the same job to another person with the same skills. However, income is not simply those profits that are made by your company or your salary as an entrepreneur.
- When calculating your income, you should also consider the number of hours you work, your business turnover, and the possible seasonal nature of your activities.
The KevytPRO experts are also happy to help you with your YEL insurance and calculating your income.
