Freelancer net-income calculator (auto-entrepreneur)

Estimate what you keep after platform fees, the IFU flat tax and CASNOS contributions, at the official exchange rate and, for comparison, a “parallel” rate that you enter yourself. Everything is calculated in your browser.

Fees and exchange rates

Varies by platform, check yours. The default is an assumption, not a rule.

Enter today’s official rate (Bank of Algeria or your bank). We do not prefill it so we never show a stale figure.

For comparison only. The informal market is not a legal exchange channel.

What is left of an invoice in foreign currency

An Algerian freelancer often invoices in euros or dollars. Between the invoiced amount and the money available in dinars sit the platform fee, the exchange rate, the tax (IFU) and the social contribution (CASNOS). The calculator chains these steps to show your monthly and yearly net.

According to the DGI, the auto-entrepreneur pays the IFU at 0.5% of turnover, with an annual minimum of 10,000 DA even with no turnover. For CASNOS the tool compares the flat contribution of 24,000 DA a year and the 15% option: see our CASNOS calculator for the detail.

Official rate or parallel rate?

The calculation uses the official rate for tax, and you can enter a “parallel” rate to compare what you would receive on the informal market. That second rate is your own input, not official data. Our DZD converter shows the published rates and the market indication.

Assumptions

  • Auto-entrepreneur IFU: 0.5% of turnover, minimum 10,000 DA per year, status ceiling 5,000,000 DA (DGI).
  • CASNOS: 24,000 DA/year flat amount reserved to auto-entrepreneurs, or 15% of a base between the annual SNMG (24,000 × 12 = 288,000 DA) and 20 times that amount (decree 26-257, JO no. 53/2026).
  • To verify: the IFU base (gross or net of fees), the exact base of the percentage option for an auto-entrepreneur, and which rate to use to convert foreign-currency turnover. You can change them under advanced assumptions.
  • Platform fee and exchange rates: entered by you; no official figure is prefilled.

Cases not covered

  • The 5% withholding the DGI mentions for some operations via digital platforms: not applied here (whether it reaches foreign platforms is to verify).
  • Exemptions (labelled start-up, ANADE/ANGEM/CNAC) and regimes other than auto-entrepreneur (general IFU up to 8M DA, real regime, EURL, SARL).
  • Bank and conversion fees, withdrawal commissions, any VAT, late penalties.
  • CASNOS penalties, minimum per activity for multiple activities, average contribution from the 3rd year (ministerial orders not seen).
  • Amounts are annual estimates: IFU and CASNOS have their own payment deadlines.
