At the top of the tax calculator you’ll find an Actual / Scenario toggle.
Actual mode
Estimates your annual tax burden from your real, recorded income, expenses, and (if you have one) salary data. Updates automatically as new income/expenses come in — no need to calculate manually. Current values also appear in the Dashboard summary.
What does it show?
- Estimated annual personal income tax (SZJA)
- Social security contribution (TB) and social contribution tax (szocho)
- Local business tax (HIPA) (if configured)
- Total estimated tax burden
KATA taxpayers
If you’re a KATA sole trader, the calculator doesn’t show a detailed breakdown — just your fixed tax burden:
- Annual tax burden: HUF 600,000 (12 × HUF 50,000, since KATA can only be chosen full-time)
- This amount is independent of revenue — as long as you stay within the HUF 18 million annual ceiling
Scenario mode
In the scenario analyzer, you can freely adjust income, tax form, business type, expenses, and personal circumstances (number of children, disability, age-based benefits) — without changing anything in your real data. If any value differs from your profile, a “Scenario” badge appears, and a Reset button lets you return to your real data at any time.
This is useful, for example, to see how your tax burden would look under a different tax form, income level, or business type — but always make the final decision with a professional.
Inside the scenario view, a secondary Comparison / Detailed toggle switches how the calculation is displayed.
Effect of employment income
If you’re a part-time sole trader and have recorded your salary data on the Employment page, the calculator automatically accounts for family/personal tax benefits already used at your employer — so it avoids double-counting, and projects your remaining social security contribution more accurately.
The calculator provides an estimate, not an official tax assessment. Verify the figures with your accountant before making actual tax payments.
