Austria Commuter Allowance Calculator 2026: Pendlerpauschale and Pendlereuro
Calculate the Austrian commuter allowance for 2026: small or large Pendlerpauschale by distance, the Pendlereuro of 6 € per km and your tax saving.
Whether public transport is reasonable is decided with the BMF Pendlerrechner, which gives the official distance. The Pendlerpauschale lowers taxable income; the Pendlereuro is deducted from the tax itself.
What it does
Austrian employees who commute get the Pendlerpauschale as a deduction. The small one, when public transport is reasonable, is €696 a year for 20 to 40 km, €1,356 for 40 to 60 km and €2,016 above 60 km. The large one, when it is not, is €372 for 2 to 20 km, €1,476 for 20 to 40 km, €2,568 for 40 to 60 km and €3,672 above 60 km. From 2026 the Pendlereuro tax credit is €6 per km of the one-way distance a year, up from €2.
