How is the refund estimate calculated?
Why the estimate changes after every answer and what the amounts mean.
Calculated live
After every answer our tax calculation recalculates the whole return. As long as details are missing, the estimate is provisional.
The real effect
For every item you see how much tax it really saves: we calculate the tax with and without the item. That is why costs below a lump sum often change nothing.
Not binding
The tax assessment from the tax office is what counts. If it differs, upload it – we compare it with our estimate.
