Austrian VAT calculator
Add or extract Value Added Tax (VAT) for net↔gross amounts with 2026 rates for the country you select.
Rates and thresholds for the 2026 tax year. This tool is a helper, not tax advice.
Calculate Austrian VAT (USt) at 20%, 13% or 10%
Enter net or gross, pick 20% (standard), 10% (reduced), 13% (intermediate), or Custom…, then add or extract Austrian VAT. Use 2026 rates: 20% covers most business-to-business (B2B) services and goods; 10% often applies to food, books, newspapers, pharmaceuticals and passenger transport; 13% typically covers cultural events, some passenger transport and certain food or accommodation cases.
Example: a Vienna café invoices €50 net for catering. At 10% the customer pays €55 gross. This is a helper for arithmetic, not tax advice. If you do not charge VAT, check the Austrian Kleinunternehmer threshold (€55,000 net, with a one-time 10% tolerance) before adding tax.
Austrian VAT calculator: FAQ
What is the Austrian 13% intermediate VAT rate used for?
The 13% rate typically applies to cultural events, some passenger transport, and certain food or accommodation supplies. Most everyday business-to-business (B2B) services and standard goods remain at 20%. If your invoice mixes categories, calculate each line at its own rate rather than applying one average percentage to the whole document.
When should I add Austrian VAT versus extract it from a gross amount?
Add Value Added Tax (VAT) when quoting net and you need the customer total. Extract when you only have a gross figure on a receipt, hotel bill or marketplace statement and need the net base plus the Umsatzsteuer (USt) share for bookkeeping or expense reports.
How should Austrian Kleinunternehmer use this VAT calculator?
If you do not charge Value Added Tax (VAT), do not add 20%, 13% or 10% on invoices. Use the Austrian VAT registration threshold check instead (€55,000 net, with a one-time 10% tolerance up to €60,500) to see whether exemption still looks available.
How do I choose between the 20%, 13% and 10% Austrian rates?
Start from the supply category: standard business-to-business (B2B) services and most goods → 20%; many food, books and pharma lines → 10%; culture, some transport and specific accommodation/food cases → 13%. Mixed supplies and reverse charge need line-by-line treatment; confirm borderline categories with your Steuerberater.
