Alexa Morán Cruz talks about the importance of properly authorizing your contribution base as a self-employed worker in Spain.
Since 2023, freelancers must contribute to Social Security based on their actual net income. This marks a major shift from the previous system, where people could choose their base freely—often below what they should have contributed.
With the new model:
✅ Those who earn less, pay less.
✅ Those who earn more, contribute more.
✅ You can adjust your base up to 6 times a year to match income fluctuations.
✅ At year-end, Social Security reviews earnings and adjusts contributions if needed.
A reform aimed at fairness, better future benefits, and a more sustainable system for everyone.
