France: I compared the real tax burden of micro-entrepreneur vs EURL vs SASU

I redid the math for France on a single scenario: solo B2B services, 8% business costs, no ACRE, same tax assumptions across structures.

What surprised me:

  • Micro-entrepreneur: 29.7% total tax pressure at 30k EUR revenue, 35.0% at 60k EUR
  • EURL IS: 36.8% at 60k EUR
  • SASU: 40.4% at 60k EUR, but around 41.0% at 100k EUR if you mix salary + dividends

My takeaway:

  • below 45-50k EUR revenue, I would not complicate my life too early
  • around 60k EUR, EURL IS often looks cleaner than SASU if the goal is net retained
  • SASU becomes more defensible when cash flow is stable and you actually want the structure

Curious how other founders in France or Europe model this switch.
