The salary simulator

TL;DR — hrmano is launching a salary simulator designed exclusively for directors of Belgian companies. Accessible without an account, it lets you adjust every compensation lever and see the impact in real time thanks to our dynamic payroll engine. Create a free account to save up to 4 simulations and convert them into actual compensation.

The problem with existing simulators

When a Belgian company director wants to estimate the impact of a change in their compensation, they have three options — and none of them is satisfactory.

• The spreadsheet. Formulas pile up, a rate gets forgotten, you tweak one cell and three others break. Result: a file no one can vouch for anymore.
• The social secretariat. Little responsiveness, answers come with a delay, often as a flat-rate calculation that doesn't reflect the specifics of your situation. Impossible to quickly test a "what if?".
• Online simulators. Designed for employees, they ignore the director's reality and the levers specific to their situation.

We deserved better. So we built it.

A simulator designed for directors

The hrmano simulator is designed exclusively for directors of Belgian companies. It's not a standard gross-to-net calculator with a "self-employed" button tacked on at the last minute. It's a tool that understands your situation from the start — and it's accessible without an account, without signing up.

You arrive, configure your situation in a few minutes, and simulate. The interface guides you step by step: company, current compensation, personal parameters. Each field comes with a clear explanation, and default values are calibrated to the most common cases.

In practice, you can:

• Adjust every lever of your compensation: salary, benefits in kind, employer-specific expenses (mileage allowance, home office allowance, garage allowance, entertainment expenses…), PLCI.
• See the impact in real time — every change is instantly reflected across net in pocket, company cost, corporate tax, personal income tax and social contributions.
• Compare scenarios side by side: "What changes if I go from a net income of €2,000 to €2,500 per month?"

Save your scenarios, take action

The simulator without an account is perfect for exploring. But once you've found interesting scenarios, you'll want to keep them. By creating a free account, you can save up to 4 different simulations.

Each saved simulation represents a complete compensation scenario — and when you're ready, you can convert a simulation into actual compensation directly in hrmano. The path from simulation to execution is direct: simulate, compare, decide, apply — in one single tool.

Powered by the dynamic payroll engine

What makes the simulator so responsive is the dynamic payroll engine built at the heart of hrmano. Unlike traditional engines that process calculations with a delay, sometimes over 24 hours, our engine recalculates your entire situation with every change, in milliseconds.

Director compensation is a system of interconnected variables: changing one parameter affects all the others. Every decision has a hidden cost that only a comprehensive calculation can reveal.

With our engine, you no longer need to guess. You move a slider, everything adjusts. It's the difference between flying blind and flying with instruments.

What you should know

• It's not tax advice — but it gives you the numbers you need to optimise. The simulator provides the visibility to make your own decisions, ideally in consultation with your accountant or tax adviser.
• It's the first step towards your payslip. The simulator is the starting point for configuring your compensation, which you can then make real through our payslip service.
• Always up to date. We continuously track changes in Belgian tax and social legislation, and update our payroll engine accordingly. These updates are directly reflected in the simulator.

Try it

The simulator is accessible without an account, without signing up, without commitment. Open it, configure your situation in a few minutes, and see what your compensation could look like. And if you like what you see, create a free account to save your scenarios and take action.
