How much are you overpaying?
What do you pay today?
Bookkeeping, VAT and annual accounts
What a lawyer charged for forming your company
Only the extra fees for arranging the audit — not the audit itself. Sumly connects you to a partner auditor in the dashboard.
Your yearly bill
A one-off fee, so it sits outside the yearly figures above. All prices exclude VAT. Government and other actual expenses are invoiced separately once your application is approved.

About these numbers
How does the savings calculator work?
It adds what you type — accountant or accounting-firm fees, one-off lawyer fees for formation, and extra auditor-arrangement fees — and subtracts a year of Sumly at the published price: Base (€39 a month) if you do the books yourself, Premium (€190 a month) if you'd rather have a Sumly certified bookkeeper. The receipt uses yearly billing, where two months are free, so Base counts as €390 for the year and Premium as €2,280. No fabricated firm prices, no hidden assumptions.
What is the difference between Base and Premium?
On Base you get the full platform: Sumly books everything, and you review and file. On Premium everything in Base is included and you also get your own Sumly certified bookkeeper, who files your VAT and VIES for you and handles the year-end accounts. The toggle in the calculator switches between the two.
Where does the €3,210 figure come from?
The average Sumly user saves €3,210 a year compared to using an accounting firm — the approved average across Sumly users doing their own books on Base. Your number depends on what you pay today, which is why the calculator asks you rather than guessing.
What isn't counted?
The statutory audit itself — that is a separate engagement with an independent auditor whatever software you use, and our auditor page explains how it works — and any saving the law gives you anyway, such as the lighter review engagement now available to the smallest companies. The yearly figure counts what Sumly changes every year: the bookkeeping bill and the arrangement overhead. Company formation is a one-off, so it is listed under the receipt rather than folded into the annual saving.
