The paper is aimed at determining the loss of status of self-employed. The risk is measured by the amount of the amount that the self-employed person is coming to or, on the other hand, gaining the transition between self-employed status, employed and unemployed changing the status of the surveyed entity. A prerequisite for determining the risk of losing the self-employed status is the premise that the risk arises when the alternative use of the factor of the self-investigated object is lower than that of the entrepreneurial activity. The aim of the paper is therefore to determine the level of the self-income of the self-employed, from which income level is the loss of the self-employed status a risk.
