Hi all! I may hired full-time for a role (not in Finland) where it is easiest to simply monthly invoice them my 'salary'/fee, as a sole trader.

Now, I know that I should calculate some overhead in the fee calculation, but I have no idea how much or even where to look for information/knowledge. (I have always been a salaried employee so far)

Would anyone have any experience on this set-up, or could even point me to some resources where I can read up?

Many thanks in advance!

Your information is probably a bit vague to give information.

Type your question into ChatGPT.

I know a bit about it if you want to pm me

Try the Eezy calculator[1]. It is probably also easiest to use one of these light-entrepreneur services for invoicing, there are several.

I have a rule of thumb that I use: Expected pay x 1,75. This rule is not perfect, but works quite well when estimating offers.
