    Belgian freelance social security

    I'd like to compute Belgian social security costs. I understand that social security goes up 1/2% annually, starting at 20.5% and a ceiling of 22%.

    yr 1 20.5% of this years income (initially 20.5% of 11824€, adjusted after actuals are known)
    yr 2 21.0% of this years income (initially 20.5% of 11824€, adjusted after actuals are known)
    yr 3 21.5% of this years income
    yr 4 22.0% of yr 1 income
    yr 5 22.0% of yr 2 income
    yr 6 22.0% of yr 3 income
    yr 7 22.0% of yr 4 income
    ...etc.

    And if year 7 is the last year worked in Belgium, income earned on years 5, 6, and 7 are never used as a basis for social security.

    Is all this correct?
