What things cost, and why.
Every service on this site shows a from-price. Prices include 19% German VAT (USt); the net figure is shown in small type beside each gross price for business buyers. Nothing here needs a phone call to discover.
What moves the price
- Language-pair rarity EN⇄DE is included in every base price; less common pairs carry a standard adjustment.
- Certification Certified/sworn translation requires an authorised translator and a formal certification statement — priced as its own service.
- Urgency Express turnaround (24h on certified documents, +30% on Translation Credit and proofreading) costs more because it means reordering our own queue.
- Formatting & DTP A document that needs complex layout reproduction takes longer than plain text — quoted case by case.
- Volume Translation Credit bundles cost less per word the larger the bundle — see the table below.
