How to calculate VAT?
Value-added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax that a VAT-registered business adds to the price of its goods or services and pays to the state. The calculation goes in two directions: either you add VAT to a price excluding VAT, or you extract VAT from a price that already includes it.
Adding VAT: multiply the amount excluding VAT by the rate and add it. For example, €100 + 24% = 100 + 24 = €124.
Removing VAT: divide the amount including VAT by (1 + rate). For example, €124 / 1.24 = €100, of which VAT is €24. A common mistake is simply subtracting 24% from the VAT-inclusive amount – this gives the wrong result.
VAT rates in 2026
The following VAT rates apply in Estonia in 2026:
- 24% – standard rate. In force since 1 July 2025 (previously 22%). Applies to most goods and services.

The standard VAT rate is 24% (in force since 1 July 2025). There are also reduced rates: 13% for accommodation and 9% for books, press and medicines. Exports are taxed at 0%.
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1 + the rate. For 24% divide by 1.24, for 13% by 1.13 and for 9% by 1.09. For example, €124 / 1.24 = €100 excluding VAT, of which VAT is €24.
Because 24% is calculated on the amount excluding VAT, not on the amount including VAT. Subtracting 24% from €124 gives €94.24, which is wrong. The correct approach is to divide by 1.24, which gives €100.
Registration becomes mandatory when a company’s taxable turnover exceeds €40,000 in a calendar year. You can also register voluntarily before reaching the threshold.
The standard VAT rate rose from 22% to 24% on 1 July 2025 and also applies in 2026. Before that it was 22% (from 2024) and earlier 20%. The reduced rates (13% and 9%) remained unchanged.
