"Social security contributions are paid 10% each by the employer and the employee respectively. Social Security contributions however, are capped at €1,717.56 annually for persons who were born before 1962. For people born after 1962, the capping stands at €1,840.28."

Thanks both for your help but at least at the beginning I'm not going to hire any emplyee.
So, in this case, how much are the Social Secutiry costs?

Hi there, your posts are very interesting & I am almost in the same scenario. Do you have to pay the social security also if your company is registered abroad?

Thanks a million
