Good deal or not? Comparing hourly-wage with private trader

[tiliavain]

I'd like to compare taxes only, not tools, rent etc.
Basically I need only a computer and internet to perform my work.

And roof and electricity and insurances, are you gonna cook your own books and do your own taxes or hire an accountant, how much you make if your computer breaks or net is down...
If you think taxes only (and toiminimi) then the only difference is VAT and that some of the income is taxed as capital gains (if I understood right and there are other tax-like payments that you have to pay, eg. http://www.etk.fi/Page.aspx?Section=41869 ).

I don't think that's accurate, if you have some calculations feel free to send me.

Absolutely it is not accurate, it depends so much what you do. Rent a office and lease a car, pay for advertising, pay for tools, pay for pension, pay for someone to do your work when you get sick... it all adds up. And then you end up with car and office and tools but can't get customers to pay...

That's exactly the point I was also going to make, thanks for doing so, dude.
