What is the YEL income threshold?

The YEL income threshold in 2026 is 9 423,09 €

‍YEL earned income refers to the euro value of the work you do as an entrepreneur over a 12-month period. It's therefore not the same as turnover or the salary you draw, but a monetary estimate of what you would pay an outside professional to do the work you do. The income recommendation made by the YEL insurance company is based on your turnover estimate and the median salary in your industry. The assessment also takes into account any part-time work and seasonality. The YEL income threshold changes every year.
