One of them is the amount of workload, since it can currently vary depending on the time, it is possible that some freelancers in summer have more income and need to change their contribution base taking into account the income they bill.

Another advantage that the self-employed can change the contribution base every three months, is that they have the possibility of adjusting it in case they need to be on sick leave or if they had an accident that temporarily disables them, thus reducing the quota that They must pay each month.

The higher the contribution base that the self-employed person chooses, the higher the monthly fee they must pay.
