How we price this in France
France national base ranges come from named French sources (cost guides and parts suppliers), in euros and never converted from another currency. We localize them with Insee regional wage relatives (Tous salariés 2023 all-employees base); there is no French equivalent of the U.S. Regional Price Parity, so the price and overhead terms stay at the national baseline. VAT is standard-rated at 20% France-wide, but many small repairers fall under the franchise en base de TVA exemption (€37,500 threshold for services) and add none — so treat 20% as a ceiling; displayed prices are TTC (all taxes included). The full formula, weights, clamp, and source vintages are on the methodology page.
