Polish NIP check digit

The Polish tax identification number (NIP, Numer Identyfikacji Podatkowej) is a ten-digit code used on invoices, company registries, payroll files, and e-commerce tax fields across Poland.

The last digit is a check digit derived from a fixed weighting of the first nine digits under the standard modular rule used by Polish tax systems. A single mistyped digit or a swapped pair often breaks that checksum, so validating the NIP before posting an invoice, opening a supplier record, or accepting a partner file catches many keying errors early. This capability computes the Polish NIP check digit for a nine-digit payload (with or without common hyphens), or validates a full ten-digit number that already includes the trailing digit, and it reports bad input instead of silently inventing a digit. Use it free in the browser or call the KIT API at the published price; both paths run the same deterministic arithmetic with no network lookup and no registry of real taxpayers.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"nip":"526104082"}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "nip": "526104082"
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "nip": "526104082"
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"nip":"526104082"}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"nip":"526104082"}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/enc/nip-poland", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "nip": "526104082"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "enc.nip_poland",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.
