Frequently asked questions
The Netherlands has a 21% standard rate (hoog tarief) on most goods and services, and a 9% reduced rate (laag tarief) on items such as food and groceries, water, medicines, books, newspapers, culture, sport, passenger transport, and hairdressing. A 0% rate also exists for exports and intra-EU supplies.
Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate. At 21% the net is gross divided by 1.21, and the BTW is the difference. For example, 121 EUR including 21% BTW is 100 EUR net plus 21 EUR BTW. This calculator does that for you when you choose extract BTW.
From 1 January 2026 short-stay accommodation (logies, hotels) moved from the 9% reduced rate to the 21% standard rate. The earlier plan to also raise the rate on culture, media, sport, and books was cancelled, so those stay at 9%.
Yes. The 21% and 9% rates shown are the Dutch BTW (omzetbelasting) rates for 2026 as set by the Belastingdienst.
This calculator applies the Dutch BTW rates for 2026. Enter a net amount (excl. BTW) to compute the BTW and gross total, or enter a gross amount to extract the net and the BTW.
