How It Works
Germany applies a standard VAT rate of 19%. To add VAT, the calculator multiplies the net price by 19% and adds it to give the gross price. To remove it, it divides the gross amount by 1.19 to recover the net price and reveal the VAT portion. A reduced 7% rate (ermäßigter Steuersatz) applies to most food, books, newspapers and public transport.
