Degiro Bookkeeper

This is a simple command line tool to work out earnings and dividends figures for a Degiro account. It takes as input a Degiro account CSV statement file in English language, and outputs to console or to CSV files information about earnings from sells transactions and dividends in a given period.

FAQ

Q: Why is my Degiro Annual Report showing numbers slightly different from the Account Statement?

In the Annual Report we use the exchange rates of the close price of the day the document is created. The Account Statement uses more accurate data, but the difference should be negligible. However, please remember that this report is not an official document as Degiro is not providing tax related services.
