Royalties/auteursrechten are back — here's a free calculator to check if it's actually worth it for you
The royalty/auteursrechten regime is (almost certainly) coming back for IT professionals.
Since a lot of people have been asking if it is worth the hassle, I made a tool that just runs the numbers.
What it does:
- Quick eligibility check — are you even in scope?
- Calculates how much net income royalties could add, based on your current wage and dividends
- Takes into account the current rules (post-Van Peteghem, post-Jambon clarification)
Who it's for:
Freelancers and company owners in IT, design, marketing, content — basically anyone who creates something that qualifies as a copyrightable work.

Tool is free to use. Feedback welcome — we update it as rules evolve. Just keep it constructive.
Disclaimer:
- Copying or monetising the tool is not allowed — you know the deal.
- I hope this doesn't infringe the community rules 😇
