Feature detail
Why teams choose MeinRechner Auto
Tax and allowance
Get the Pendlerpauschale and Kfz-Steuer right for 2026
The two figures that hit most German drivers are the commuter allowance and motor vehicle tax. The app builds both in with the current rules.
- Pendlerpauschale 2026 at a uniform 0.38 EUR per one-way kilometre from kilometre 1
- Kfz-Steuer for petrol, diesel, electric, hybrid, and classic H-plate cars
- Estimate Werbungskosten for Anlage N of your income tax return
Running costs
Understand what each kilometre actually costs
Fuel is only part of the picture. The running-cost calculators fold in tax, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation.
- Fuel cost per tank, per month, and per year
- Cost per kilometre across fuel, insurance, tax, maintenance, and depreciation
- Tank comparison for Super E5, E10, Diesel, and Electric
Buying and leasing
Plan a lease or a purchase before you sign
For anyone weighing a new vehicle, the leasing and depreciation tools turn the deal terms into a clearer cost picture.
- Leasing rate estimator with down payment, residual value, term, and interest
- Depreciation forecast across the holding period
- Range and consumption calculator

Questions
Questions people ask before downloading MeinRechner Auto
What is the 2026 Pendlerpauschale rate?
The app uses the uniform 0.38 EUR per one-way kilometre from kilometre 1, applied automatically, so you can estimate the deductible commuter allowance in seconds.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. All calculations run locally on your device — no cloud, no accounts — and you enter your own fuel prices, premiums, and rates.
Is it official tax advice?
No. It is an information tool and does not replace advice from a tax advisor or the Finanzamt. Binding rulings come only from your competent Finanzamt or the customs administration.
Beyond the app
Need something more tailored than MeinRechner Auto?
If a fleet operator, leasing company, or advisory needs vehicle-cost logic inside its own tools, I can build a tailored calculator around your tax rules, formatting, and reporting.
- Custom vehicle and fleet cost calculators
- Tax and depreciation logic tuned to your jurisdiction
- PDF and CSV exports shaped for your accounting workflow
Bigger workflow
If this app opens up a bigger problem
The app may solve a concrete job immediately. If it exposes a larger operational, web, or content problem behind it, these are the closest practical routes.
Operational systems
If the workflow behind the app reveals manual steps, approval layers, tool sprawl, or operational debt, this is where it becomes a real system.
Web platforms
If this direction points toward a portal, stronger web layer, SEO surface area, or client-facing interface, this is the closest next route.
