A practical Berlin money tool for non-EU visitors planning Tax Free shopping, BER Airport customs and refund paperwork.

Use this free Berlin Tax Free Refund Calculator before shopping in Berlin, before asking for VAT refund paperwork, or before packing your purchases for BER Airport customs.

What this tool does

Estimate the VAT inside one Berlin shopping receipt, check whether the basic tourist refund rules look plausible, and see where the customs step belongs before you leave the EU.

When it helps

Use it before asking for Tax Free paperwork at a Berlin shop, before packing goods for BER Airport, or when deciding whether a smaller receipt is worth the refund effort.

Local tip

Customs validates export; customs does not pay the refund. Keep the receipt, tax-free form, passport, travel documents and unused goods together, and handle checked baggage before the bag disappears.
