Retiring early? Where?

[evergreen]

What are the budgets living there? What are the deductions, if you ever calculated?

The general income tax rate is15%.
Freelancers (with a trade licence) can deduct 70% of their income and are taxed on the remaining 30%. Capital gain tax is not taxed if it was held for at last 3 years which is convenient for long term passive investor. There is no wealth tax
For employees, health insurance and social premiums are paid by the employer and in most companies the HR departement fills the tax return for the employees. Only in complex cases like multiple employments or real estate one as to fill the tax return themself or ask a tax advisor to do so.
For freelancers, the social + health insurance contributions are about CHF 190.-/month (adjusted every year to the average income)

Cost of life: czech beer is cheap and good
More seriously, housing rental recently became expensive, but still according to Numbeo, cost of living in Prague is 45% lower than in Fribourg (without rent) and 40% including rent.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds great indeed. Very practical hints and numbers to consider.
Some of my friends (a few) got CZ pass many years ago. They are happy and consider it their main place/passport to live, work, retire.
I wonder if I am missing on something.
