How Netherlands BTW works

In the Netherlands, value-added tax is called BTW (belasting over de toegevoegde waarde). The standard rate is 21%. A reduced rate of 9% applies to food, books, medicines, and certain other goods. To add 21% BTW: multiply net by 1.21. Example: €100 → €21 BTW → €121 incl. To reverse: divide by 1.21. Dutch invoices must show the BTW amount and rate. Freelancers (zzp'ers) and companies use these calculations constantly when preparing facturen (invoices).

How to use this BTW calculator Netherlands

  1. 1

    Enter your net (excl. BTW) amount

    Type the price before BTW — for example €500 for a freelance project.

  2. 2

    Confirm the 21% rate

    The calculator defaults to 21% standard BTW. Change to 9% for reduced-rate supplies if needed.

  3. 3

    Read the BTW and gross total

    At 21%: €500 net → €105 BTW → €605 gross. Formula: BTW = Net × 0.21.

  4. 4

    Remove BTW from an inclusive price

    Switch to remove-BTW mode and enter a gross price. Net = Gross ÷ 1.21.
