Common Mistakes

  • Das wird auf deine Rechnung gerechnet.

    Missing the separable prefix 'drauf' changes the meaning; 'gerechnet' alone means 'calculated' rather than 'added on'.

  • Auf deine Rechnung wird draufgerechnet.

    Word order is off for a passive construction; the auxiliary 'wird' must precede the participle.

  • Das wird auf dein Rechnung draufgerechnet.

    The possessive must agree with the feminine accusative noun 'Rechnung' → 'deine'.

Alternatives

  • Das wird zu deiner Rechnung hinzugefügt.

    That will be added to your invoice.

  • Der Betrag wird deiner Rechnung hinzugefügt.

    The amount will be added to your invoice.

Cultural Tip

In German business communication, clarity about extra charges is expected. 'Draufgerechnet' is colloquial and common in everyday speech, especially in hospitality. In formal written communication you might prefer 'hinzugefügt' or 'auf die Rechnung gesetzt' to sound more professional. Also, always specify the amount to avoid misunderstandings.
