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.\n2. Convert each weight to the unit the rates are published in. Netherlands publishes in euro per kilogram.\n3. Multiply each weight by the rate of its category. A category whose rate is not yet published returns not yet published, never a number.\n4. 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.\n5. 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."

"markdown": "\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### How is the Netherlands packaging EPR fee calculated?\n\nEach 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.\n\n### Which units can I enter?\n\nKilograms, tonnes, pounds and short tons, or a count of units where the rate is per unit. The calculator converts them before it multiplies.\n\n### Does the estimate include other charges?\n\nNot by default. The schedule lists 5 further charges, shown above as published. Choose to include them and they are added to the total.\n\n### How current are these rates?\n\nThey 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.\n\n### What if my organisation gave me a different rate?\n\nWhere 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.\n\n### Will Instica file or pay for me in Netherlands?\n\nNo. 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."
