The results are non-binding estimates for guidance only and do not replace tax, legal or investment advice. What counts are your payslip, your tax assessment (Steuerbescheid) and the terms of your contracts.
How it is calculated
Gross = net × 1.19 (or × 1.07). Net = gross ÷ 1.19 (or ÷ 1.07). The VAT included is the difference.
The reduced rate of 7% applies, among other things, to many foods, books and periodicals, and local public transport. Since 2026 the reduced rate has also applied to food in restaurants, but not to drinks.
Frequently asked questions
