How much wealth will you build?
What you keep, you invest, and that money works for you. See what you build as a Shortlister or as a partner, and when you can live off it.
Enter what you spend per month today, without your car: that runs through your company.

Or would you rather build an office?
As a partner you’re an entrepreneur: you build an office of up to eight consultants. On top of your fee and dividend, you build up a stake that you sell at the end of your term.

Rather talk right away? Book a callHonestly, with the classic rules.
Your investments return 7% a year on average, the classic rule. Minus 2% inflation, your wealth grows by 4.9% a year. All amounts are in today’s euros.
Each year you take 4% from your wealth, so you need 25 times what you spend in a year. The rest stays invested. If you stop young, build in some margin: your wealth has to last longer.
As a Shortlister: what you keep through your BV, as in our calculator. As a partner: your fee, your dividend and, at the end, your stake: 30% of five times your team’s profit.
As long as you work, your company pays for your car: it’s part of your net. Stop working and you pay for it yourself, so it counts in what you need to be free.
Per child, €650 a month: the minimum cost according to the Gezinsbond, without school or childcare. If you share the costs at home, we count your half of everything.
On your dividend you pay 30% for the first three years, then 18% with VVPR-bis. We don’t count tax on your investments, so allow a little extra.
Not financial advice. This is a simulation with the assumptions above, not investment, tax or legal advice. A 7% return is a historical average, not a guarantee: you can also lose money. Before you decide about your money, talk to an independent financial planner first.
