Answer in brief: under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), traders must show the total price — including taxes — before a customer buys. A printed price list that states "prices include VAT" meets that expectation at a glance, which is why this tool puts the VAT line on every list it makes. (Source: Directive 2011/83/EU, EUR-Lex.)
What makes a price list work
A good price list does one job: let a customer find a price in under five seconds. That means short item names, one price column, no clutter — and a clear line saying whether VAT is included. Group items the way customers think (drinks, food, services), keep the most popular items near the top, and put a valid-from date on the list so nobody argues about an old price next month.
The formula is simple: price shown = base price + VAT (when included) — and always state which one you are showing. A cafe that lists "Cappuccino €3.20, prices include VAT" has answered the only question that matters; a freelancer who lists "Logo design €450, prices exclude VAT" has done the same. Mixing the two on one list is how misunderstandings start.
Worked example — the pre-filled cafe list above
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Espresso | €2.50 |
| Cappuccino | €3.20 |
| Croissant | €2.80 |
| Fresh orange juice | €3.50 |
| Sandwich - ham and cheese | €5.90 |
| Price range | €2.50 – €5.90 |
The form above is pre-filled with exactly this list — press Generate to see the finished PDF. Five items, one column of prices, one VAT line: a customer reads it in seconds. The same pattern works for a hair salon (cut, colour, blow-dry), a repair shop (labour per hour, parts), or a freelancer (day rate, per-page rate, rush fee) — the tool does not care what you sell, only that each row has a name and a price.
When a customer accepts a price, turn it into paperwork with our quotation maker, then bill it with the invoice generator. If you sell at markets or pop-ups, print the list on A4 and pin it where customers queue — it answers price questions before they are asked.
📸 The PDFBuddyFree verdict
- Unlimited free price lists — design tools charge a subscription for the same one-page PDF.
- VAT line on every list: customers see the total price, not a surprise at the till.
- Your prices never leave your device — a genuine privacy edge over upload-based tools.
Straight talk: limits
🧾 Not a tax calculator
This tool formats the prices you type; it does not calculate VAT. VAT rates vary by country and by item (food, books and services often differ) — check your local rate with your tax authority or accountant before printing.
🖼️ No logo upload
The list carries your business name as typed text. For a branded header, type your business name exactly as it appears on your shopfront; logo upload is planned as a future update.
💾 Save your PDFs
The form lives only in this tab — it clears on refresh. Download each price list before you leave, and re-open the tool when prices change.
Price List PDF Maker FAQ
Is this price list maker really free?
Yes — unlimited price lists, every item, PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account, no payment details. The PDF is assembled in your browser, so there is nothing to meter.
Can I use it for services, not just food?
Yes. It is a plain list formatter: haircuts, repairs, tutoring, design work, rentals — any item or service with a name and a price. The tool does not care what you sell.
How do I show VAT on the price list?
Use the VAT dropdown: choose 'Prices include VAT' for the total the customer pays, or 'Prices exclude VAT' for business customers who reclaim it. The choice is printed on every list so there is no ambiguity.
Can I add my business logo?
Not in this version — the list carries your business name as typed text. For a branded header, type your business name exactly as it appears on your shopfront; logo upload is planned as a future update.
Which currencies are supported?
EUR, USD and GBP, with the correct symbol on every price. If you trade in another currency, pick the closest option and type the currency code into the item name — the numbers are yours.
Is my price list uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is assembled on your own device with a JavaScript library — your business name and prices are never sent to any server. Close the tab and the data is gone.
Can I email the price list PDF to customers?
Yes — download the PDF, then attach it to your email or message. It is a standard A4 PDF, so it opens on any phone or computer without special software.
