Luxembourg EPR fee calculator

Last verified

Luxembourg publishes 19 category rates for packaging in the 2026 fee year, stated in euro per kilogram, and this calculator turns your weights into an estimate of the fee. For example, Glass is priced at 0.0203 EUR/kg. The result is an estimate: you check it, and you sign and submit any filing yourself.

Estimate your fee

Choose the period you are reporting and the calculator picks the schedule in force, then multiplies the weight of each material you add by the published rate. It runs in your browser and stores nothing. Without JavaScript the example further down shows the same arithmetic.

How the estimate is calculated

The calculator follows the same steps for every place, and it shows each step so you can check it against the schedule.

  1. Pick the schedule in force for the period you are reporting. Where a schedule is charged on an earlier supply year, the calculator uses the schedule whose data period contains your period.
  2. Convert each weight to the unit the rates are published in. Luxembourg publishes in euro per kilogram.
  3. Multiply each weight by the rate of its category. A category whose rate is not yet published returns not yet published, never a number.
  4. Add the other charges the schedule lists, if you choose to include them, and where the schedule sets a minimum, apply it or tell you that your total is below it.
  5. Add the lines to a total in EUR. If you ask for another currency, the calculator converts with a named published rate and says so.

What to have ready

You get the most useful estimate with these figures to hand. This page stores none of them.

  • The weight of packaging you place on the market, by material and category.
  • The period you are reporting, so the right schedule is chosen.
  • In the few places that publish no rate table, the rate your producer responsibility organisation gave you, which you enter yourself.
  • Whether you want other charges and any minimum included in the total.
  • The currency you report in, if it is not EUR.

Rates for 2026 in Luxembourg

The table lists every category the schedule prices, with the rate as published and the unit it is published in. Category names appear as the schedule prints them, in the language of the source.

Every rate is in euro per kilogram. The calculator converts your weights before it multiplies.

Fee years and data periods

Luxembourg has one schedule on record. The table shows when it applies and which packaging it prices.

Spread of the published rates

Rates in Luxembourg differ widely between materials. Converted to one unit, the table above runs from the lowest to the highest rate as follows.

The lowest published rate in fee year 2026 is €0.0151 per kilogram, for Aluminium (≥ 50 % and ≥ 50 µm).

The highest published rate in fee year 2026 is €1.758 per kilogram, for Dangerous products.

Modulation of fees

How fees are modulated for design or recyclability is not yet published for Luxembourg, so the calculator applies the base rates and says so.

Worked example for Luxembourg

A producer supplies 1,000 kg of each category below in 2026. The weights are an illustration, not a typical pack, and the arithmetic is the same the calculator performs with your own figures.

Worked example, Luxembourg, fee year 2026
Category as publishedQuantityRateAmount
Glass1,000 kg0.0203 EUR/kg€20.30
Paper/cardboard (> 85 %)1,000 kg0.0389 EUR/kg€38.90
Steel (≥ 50 %)1,000 kg0.0396 EUR/kg€39.60
PET bottles and flasks, transparent, colourless or slightly blue1,000 kg0.2498 EUR/kg€249.80
Total––€348.60

The total of the 4 lines is €348.60. Other charges and any minimum are not included.

Each line is the quantity in the rate unit multiplied by the rate, rounded to the nearest cent. The total is the sum of the lines.

The same 4 lines scale with the quantity. At the smaller quantity the total is €34.86, at the worked quantity €348.60 and at the larger quantity €3,486.00; your own figures fall between or beyond these.

What to watch for in Luxembourg

These points come from the schedule on record, so they differ from place to place.

  • Rates are per kilogram, so a weight in tonnes is multiplied by 1,000 before it is multiplied by the rate.
  • Some parts of the schedule are not yet published. They appear below as not yet published.

Units the calculator converts

The calculator converts every weight to grams first and then to the unit of the rate, so a mix of units gives the same result as one unit.

  • One kilogram is 1,000 grams.
  • One tonne is 1,000 kilograms.
  • One pound is 453.59 grams.
  • One short ton is 2,000 pounds, or 907.18 kilograms.

Not yet published for Luxembourg

These parts of the schedule are not yet published in our data. We show them as not yet published, with the reason, and never as a number.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Luxembourg packaging EPR fee calculated?

Each weight is converted to euro per kilogram and multiplied by the rate of its category, then the lines are added. Other charges and any minimum are added only if the schedule lists them and you include them.

Which units can I enter?

Kilograms, tonnes, pounds and short tons, or a count of units where the rate is per unit. The calculator converts them before it multiplies.

Does the estimate include other charges?

The schedule on record lists no charges beyond the weight-based rates.

How current are these rates?

They are the rates for the 2026 fee year, as published by the source and last reviewed on November 4, 2026. A rate that has changed since is not reflected until the source is reviewed again.

What if my organisation gave me a different rate?

Where a place publishes a rate table, the calculator uses the published rate. Where no table exists, you enter the rate your organisation gave you for each material, and the calculator labels the line as your rate, not a published one.

Will Instica file or pay for me in Luxembourg?

No. Instica measures, estimates and prepares your figures and files. You register, sign and submit each filing and pay yourself, and Instica never stores portal credentials. This page is information, not legal advice.

How to read these figures

Every figure in the app carries a data-quality label: measured, supplier, estimated or declared. How we measure and label figures. This page is information, not legal advice.
