You register with your name, email and BankID. It takes under three minutes, and you need neither an organisation number, accounting software nor registration with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The account is free, and you only pay once an invoice has been paid.

4.9% of the amount you invoice, and only when the client has actually paid. No monthly fee, no lock-in period and no charge for payouts. Invoicing tools, insurance, tax handling and support are all included in the rate.

You must be at least 18, have a Norwegian national identity number or D number, a Norwegian bank account and the right to work in Norway. You do not need to be self-employed – quite the opposite, that is the whole point.

Yes, and it is one of the most common ways to use us. There is no minimum: you can invoice one assignment a year or ten a month. Between assignments the account costs nothing.

No. We become your formal employer for each individual assignment, and you receive salary instead of business income. That also means no accounting obligation, no VAT return and no annual accounts.

Enter the client, what you have done and the amount you agreed. We work out the VAT, send the invoice in our name and follow up the payment. The whole flow is described step by step on the Invoicing page.

We set the right VAT rate based on what kind of assignment it is – some services are exempt, others are 25, 15 or 12 per cent. You choose the type of assignment, and we take care of the rest and file the VAT return.

Then we chase it. We send a reminder before the due date, a payment reminder after it, and pass the case on to debt collection if that becomes necessary. You should not have to chase money from a client you want to work with again.

Yes. You enter a name and address instead of an organisation number. We cannot credit check private customers the way we can companies, so for larger amounts we recommend payment in instalments.

Yes. We send invoices in several currencies and handle the VAT rules for cross-border assignments. Your pay is paid out in Norwegian kroner to a Norwegian account.

Expenses you have had in order to carry out the assignment: equipment, software, materials, travel and mileage allowance. Upload the receipt in the app, and the amount is deducted before tax.

Yes. Public sector clients require electronic invoices in the EHF format, and we send those automatically when the recipient is a public body.

We run payroll every working day. If the invoice is paid to us before midday, the money is normally in your account the next working day – within 24 hours of us receiving the payment.

We retrieve your tax deduction card electronically from the Norwegian Tax Administration and deduct accordingly. Most people are left with around 55–60 per cent of the invoice amount after the fee, employer's national insurance contributions and tax. Use the pay calculator to work out your own amount.

Then we deduct 50 per cent, as the law requires. The amount is not lost – you get it back in your tax settlement. If you submit a tax deduction card before the next payroll run, we use that instead.

Yes. Occupational injury insurance and liability insurance are included with every single assignment, from the first hour. You do not need to take out anything yourself or notify us in advance.

You add the people and send us the amounts, either in the app, as an Excel file or via our API. We become the employer, run payroll and send you one consolidated invoice. See the Payouts page for the full setup.

We are. Once a payment run is approved, the people in it are employed by EasyFreelance for that assignment. You buy a service from us and avoid the employer responsibility.

Yes. We have a REST API with a test environment and webhooks, so payments can be sent automatically from time tracking, project tools or an ERP. Raise it in a walkthrough and we will look at your setup.

The invoice covers the fee, the employer's national insurance contributions and our mark-up. The price depends on volume and on how you submit, so get in touch with the business team and we will run the numbers for you.
