Traveling and shopping abroad? VAT Refund Calculator tells you how much
tourist tax (VAT/GST) you can claim back — before you buy — across 38
countries, in one fast, private app.
No sign-up. No subscription. Nothing is uploaded — everything runs offline
on your device.
ESTIMATE YOUR REFUND IN SECONDS
• Pick a country and enter what you spent — see the VAT included in the
price and your estimated refund after the operator's fee.
• Minimum-spend check — instantly see whether your purchase qualifies, and
exactly how much more you'd need to spend to reach the threshold.
• Works in each country's own currency, formatted correctly.
38 COUNTRIES, REAL RULES
Browse tourist VAT/GST refund rules for 38 destinations, including the
standard rate, the minimum spend to qualify, the claim deadline, where to
get your form stamped, and country-specific notes (for example, Japan's
in-store sealing, or combined-receipt exceptions).
Covers popular shopping destinations across Europe and beyond — France,
Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia, and many
more.
COMPARE REFUND OPERATORS
See how the major refund operators (Global Blue, Planet, Pie, and digital
options like Wevat and Airvat) compare on fees and payout, so you can pick
the method that puts the most money back in your pocket.
A CLEAR HOW-IT-WORKS GUIDE
A five-step walkthrough — shop tax-free, get your form stamped at customs,
submit for payment, allow processing time, and confirm your refund arrived —
plus answers to the questions travelers actually ask (services vs goods,
finding the customs desk, unused-item rules, EU-resident eligibility, and
how much operators take).
WHY TRAVELERS LIKE IT
• 100% offline — no account, no network needed, nothing uploaded.
• No subscription — free, with a single small banner.
• No lead funnel — we never ask for your name, email, or phone.
• Calculator-first — the core estimate is always ad-free.
A NOTE ON ACCURACY
VAT Refund Calculator gives estimates for planning only. It is not legal,
tax, or financial advice. Refund amounts depend on the operator, the refund
method, current rules, and customs approval. Rates and thresholds change —
always confirm with the store, the refund operator, and customs.
Built to do one thing well: tell travelers what they can claim back, and
get out of the way.
