How to calculate tax on Dropbox subscriptions

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 estimate:

  1. Visit this page for team accounts or this page for Plus, Family, or Professional accounts. 
  2. Select the plan you’re thinking about purchasing. 
  3. Scroll to the bottom, select your country, and type in your zip code. 
  4. The price will automatically adjust, and you’ll be able to see a tax estimate under Order summary. 

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