VAT Calculator — All 27 EU Countries

VAT Calculator — EU Value Added Tax Rates by Country

Value Added Tax (VAT) rates vary across EU member states, ranging from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary). Most countries have a standard rate and one or more reduced rates for essentials like food, books, and medicine. This calculator supports all 27 EU countries with their current standard and reduced rates.

Enter a price and select a country to calculate VAT in both directions: add VAT to a net price, or extract the VAT amount from a gross (VAT-inclusive) price. The tool shows the net amount, VAT amount, and gross total for the selected country's standard rate.

EU VAT rules require businesses selling to consumers in other EU countries to charge the destination country's VAT rate once they exceed certain thresholds (the OSS scheme). This means an online store in Germany selling to French consumers must charge 20% French VAT, not 19% German VAT, after passing the €10,000 EU-wide threshold.

Reduced VAT rates apply to categories like food, water, pharmaceuticals, books, and public transport. Some countries apply super-reduced rates (below 5%) or zero rates to specific goods. The applicable rate depends on the product category and the country — there is no EU-wide standard for which products qualify for reduced rates.
