You're in Freelance & Self-employment. Use this to work independently or earn side income. Start with Scheinselbstständigkeit Radar if you depend on one client.
What this does: Shows the self-employed pension gap and how to close it.
When to use it: Early — the gap compounds with every year ignored.

Estimate for preparation — not tax advice. Confirm figures with a Steuerberater or your Finanzamt.
