Some sources are used for comparable listings only.

The purchase price is just the start.

The calculation follows the car from purchase to resale. Your transaction terms matter.

  • Purchase VAT regime and invoice type
  • Import taxes: engine size and powertrain
  • Registration and technical inspection
  • Transport to the resale country
  • Preparation for resale
  • Resale VAT or margin scheme

Missing information is flagged in the report. An unknown fee does not become zero.

An estimate you can inspect.

We use asking prices, not completed sale prices. Vehicle condition, negotiation and extra repairs can change the result. Margin is an estimate after known costs, not a promise of profit.

Calculator rules version: 22 October 2026. Reports show assumptions and gaps; confirm taxes for your specific transaction.

Before you paste a listing

Which listings can I check?

The logo strip above shows our supported sites. Some sources provide comparable listings only.

Is the margin guaranteed profit?

No. It is an estimate from comparable listings and known costs. The final sale price, car condition and expenses may differ.

Do you include Polish excise and margin VAT?

Yes. The calculation considers engine size, powertrain and purchase and resale VAT regimes. Missing details and uncertain conditions are flagged.

What happens when a fee is unknown?

The report identifies missing information. Complete the costs behind a partial result before deciding to buy.
