Updated Mar 10, 2025

The information in this article applies to all Dropbox customers, unless otherwise stated.

You may have to pay tax on your Dropbox subscription, depending on the billing zip code or country associated with your account.

If you’re within a jurisdiction where you’re required to pay taxes, you’ll see the tax as a line item on your billing invoices and receipts.

How to calculate tax prior to purchase

You don’t need to type in payment details to view your estimated tax.

To view your estimated tax:

For Plus, Family, Professional, and Essentials accounts, visit this page. For Standard, Business, Advanced, and Business Plus accounts, visit this page.
Select the plan you’re thinking about purchasing.
Scroll to the bottom, select your country, and type in your zip code.
The price will automatically adjust, and you’ll find a tax estimate under Order summary.

Note: If you’re located in the EU (European Union) or Switzerland, Dropbox prices may include tax.
