Accountant fees: Calculate now what you can expect
Would you like to know what costs you will incur when working with a tax advisor?
It's a fair question. This is because the actual costs depend on several factors — including your company type, your turnover, the number of employees you have and the scope of services that you need.
With our tax advisor cost calculator, you will receive a realistic initial assessment in just a few seconds — transparent, non-binding and tailored to your situation.
What determines the amount of tax advisor fees?
The remuneration of tax advisors in Germany is based on the Tax Consultant Remuneration Ordinance (StBVV). It sets fee frameworks, which are based, for example, on turnover, object value or actual expenditure. Typical services such as accounting, financial statements or tax advice have a direct impact on costs.
Our tax advisor cost calculator makes these requirements understandable and combines the StBVV regulations with practical industry figures:
- You enter your annual turnover, the number of employees and the desired benefits.
- On this basis, an estimated fee is determined by revenue class.
- If necessary, additional payroll costs per employee are taken into account.
- You will then receive a monthly and annual cost estimate including standard market margins.
This gives you a non-binding but realistic orientation — presented in an understandable way and as a solid basis for an individual offer.
differences between companies and individuals
Whether you are a private person looking for assistance with your income tax return or need ongoing support as a company — the effort, scope of services and costs differ significantly.
While private individuals often incur one-off costs of between 200€ and 600€, the monthly costs for companies — depending on the scope of services — are often between 150€ and 800€. Our calculator shows you with which scales you can realistically plan.
Why tax advice often is frustrating
Anyone who has ever received an invoice from a tax advisor is familiar with the problem: unclear positions, lump sums that were difficult to understand and additional costs that were previously unexpected. This makes planning more difficult and often results in higher spending than expected.
📑 Confusing: Many individual positions — from the opening balance sheet to additional fees.
💰 Often expensive: High fees or flat rates that are difficult to categorize.
🔍 Not very transparent: The actual total costs are often unclear in advance.
🎲 additional costs: Services that are self-evident are often charged separately.
📅 Difficult to plan: The costs vary depending on the month, effort and scope of services.
No more unclear fees and unpleasant surprises.
With us, you know right from the start what you can expect. Simply enter your turnover and number of employees and get an initial estimate of your expected tax advisor costs in just a few seconds.

The costs depend primarily on how complex your accounting is and which services you require. With our calculator, you can quickly get an initial orientation. In many cases, comprehensive support is worthwhile because it simplifies processes, saves time and makes better use of tax potential.
The monthly costs vary significantly depending on the scope of services. For smaller companies, they can be in the low to mid-three-digit range, and correspondingly higher for more complex companies. Our calculator helps you to realistically calculate your estimated costs.
For corporations such as limited liability companies or UGs, the expenses are usually higher — for example due to ongoing bookkeeping, annual financial statements and tax obligations. Accordingly, the costs are usually higher than those of other types of companies. Detailed information and sample calculations can be found here: Costs of a tax advisor for GmbH and UG.
