Add Eesti käibemaks to a net price, or strip it from a till receipt. The default is the 2026 standard rate of 24%. The other official rates — 13%, 9%, and 0% — are one tap away.

Not tax advice. Rates are the 2026 EMTA figures (24 / 13 / 9 / 0). Old 22%, 20%, and 5% lines still appear on some correction invoices — they are not a choice for a new sale. Check the Tax and Customs Board if the supply is unusual.
How the calculator works
Two directions, one formula. If you have a net price — a quote before tax — the calculator multiplies by 1 + rate. A €100 net sale at 24% is €24 of VAT and €124 to collect. If you have a gross price — a till receipt, a landlord’s “includes VAT” rent, a web shop total — it divides by 1 + rate. €124 at 24% is €100 net and €24 tax.
The rate is not a guess. Estonia’s official 2026 rates are 24% (standard), 13% (accommodation), 9% (a short list of books, press, and many medicines), and 0% (specific exports and intra-EU supplies). The standard rate has been 24% since 1 July 2025. There is no separate “security tax” line; 24% is one number on the invoice.
0% is not the same as exempt. A zero-rated supply is still declared on the VAT return, with evidence. An exempt supply is left off the taxable turnover. This tool will do the arithmetic for 0%. It will not tell you which legal box you are in.
Which rate to pick
Start at 24%. Only move off it if the VAT Act names the supply. Accommodation — a night in a hotel or apartment, with or without breakfast — is 13%. A restaurant meal, a conference package, or a “stay plus spa” bundle is not automatically 13%.
9% covers printed and digital books and study literature, most newspapers and magazines that are not mainly advertising or entertainment video, and many medicines and medical devices. If the shop sold you a novel, 9% is the usual answer. If it sold you a scented candle with a bookmark, it is 24%.
Correction invoices and cash-basis transitions can still show 22%, 20%, or even 5%. Those are historical rates for old periods. They are not a menu for a sale you make today.
Worked examples
Both examples use the standard 24% rate. Flip the radio from Add to Strip on the same €124 to see the two directions reverse each other.
Add 24% to €100 net
Net = €100.00.
VAT = 100 × 0.24 = €24.00.
Gross = 100 + 24 = €124.00.
That is the amount on the invoice if you sell a taxable domestic service.
Strip 24% from a €124 receipt
Gross = €124.00.
Net = 124 ÷ 1.24 = €100.00.
VAT = 124 − 100 = €24.00.
Use this when a landlord or a shop quotes a VAT-inclusive figure and you need the net for a spreadsheet.
Questions people ask before they invoice
What is the VAT rate in Estonia in 2026?
The standard rate is 24%. Reduced rates are 13% for accommodation and 9% for books, most press, and many medicines. 0% applies to certain exports and intra-EU supplies. EMTA has not announced a mid-year change for 2026.
How do I add 24% VAT to a net price?
Multiply the net by 1.24, or type the net here and leave the calculator on Add VAT. €80 net becomes €19.20 VAT and €99.20 gross.
How do I strip VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross by 1.24 for the standard rate (or 1.13 / 1.09 for the reduced rates). The calculator does that when you choose Strip VAT. Do not subtract 24% of the gross — that overstates the tax.
When is Estonian VAT 13% or 9%?
13% is for accommodation and accommodation with breakfast. 9% is for books and study literature, most newspapers and magazines, and many medicines and medical devices. Everything else taxable is 24% unless a specific 0% or exemption rule applies.
Is this official tax advice?
No. The arithmetic is exact for a given rate. Whether that rate applies to your supply is a legal question for the VAT Act and, if needed, a tax adviser or EMTA. This page will not file a return for you.
