Rules for France and their sources
The version in force from 2026-01-01. "Verified" rules were checked against the official source named; the others are estimates to confirm.
Requires confirmation
These rules of France are not applied, or are applied as estimates, because we could not confirm them from an official source yet. What is needed to add them:
- Employer social security %: The employer’s contributions depend on the company’s size, sector and reductions, so there is no cost-to-company calculator. Needed: URSSAF’s 2026 employer rates and the general reduction rule.
