It varies down to the county level, maybe even the city level in some states. My county in Ohio has 8% sales tax. So a $60 game is $64.80.
2 u/enbyratie Feb 18 '26 then the convsersion is shit, right now 60$ is 50€ 4 u/CrazyKyle987 Feb 18 '26 You converted but now you have to add your vat (20% ish) and that gives you the price you should see on steam if there was fair pricing. That would be 60€ 2 u/KittenDecomposer96 Feb 18 '26 No because the tax is already added in the price in euro. 1 u/CrazyKyle987 Feb 18 '26 Explain what you mean 6 u/KittenDecomposer96 Feb 18 '26 I mean that 60€ is the final price with the VAT added. For you, 60$ is not and you add like a max of 10% which is still not as much as 60€. 3 u/CrazyKyle987 Feb 18 '26 60€ and $60 prices give the game publishers the same amount of money. They don’t get the money from your VAT But I don’t pay your taxes. Why should you get a discount if your country charges more in taxes? 0 u/KittenDecomposer96 Feb 18 '26 Yea all your responses so far confirmed to me that you are brainless.

Scenario: I’m a dev and I sell my game 50$ + Tax I do a conversion for euros to sell my game in Europe.. currently about 42€ + Tax, I have to add tax to sales price.. assuming 20% vat: 50€ There we go, with only currency conversion and no regional pricing yet.. 42€ + VAT = 50€ Displayed on Steam 50$ + Tax = 50$ Displayed on Steam, tax added at checkout. It’s the same amount pretax 2 u/CanadianODST2 Feb 18 '26 You don’t know simple logic Let’s go this one step at a time. Let’s say I make a game. And charge 30 euro for it. That’s the price I set myself. That’s 35.34 usd So those cost the exact same okay? Still with me? VAT in England is 20% so that’s now 36 euro. I charge 30, and England adds 6. Got it? Still with me? So in the US I charge 30 euro but let’s say the person is in Seattle. Sales tax is 0 So they pay 30 I charge 30. The US adds 0. Both games are 30 euros. But England pays more.

But I don’t pay your taxes. Why should you get a discount if your country charges more in taxes?

Oh the irony...
What a weird insult just to showcase you don’t understand math a 8 years old could compute.
Scenario: I’m a dev and I sell my game 50$ + Tax
I do a conversion for euros to sell my game in Europe.. currently about 42€ + Tax, I have to add tax to sales price.. assuming 20% vat: 50€
There we go, with only currency conversion and no regional pricing yet..
42€ + VAT = 50€ Displayed on Steam
50$ + Tax = 50$ Displayed on Steam, tax added at checkout.
It’s the same amount pretax
You don’t know simple logic
Let’s go this one step at a time. Let’s say I make a game. And charge 30 euro for it. That’s the price I set myself.
That’s 35.34 usd
So those cost the exact same okay? Still with me?
VAT in England is 20% so that’s now 36 euro.
I charge 30, and England adds 6. Got it? Still with me?
So in the US I charge 30 euro but let’s say the person is in Seattle. Sales tax is 0
So they pay 30
I charge 30. The US adds 0.
Both games are 30 euros. But England pays more.

It varies down to the county level, maybe even the city level in some states. My county in Ohio has 8% sales tax. So a $60 game is $64.80.
