How it works
Add or remove VAT from prices
This VAT Calculator helps you find tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive prices. It can add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price that already includes tax.
The calculator is useful for invoices, product pricing, receipts, online shop planning, contractor quotes, and comparing pre-tax and post-tax amounts. You can also enter quantity to estimate totals for multiple items.
VAT, GST, and sales tax rules vary by country and product type. The calculator uses the rate you enter, so always confirm the correct local rate for the transaction.
Remove VAT from gross price
Use Remove VAT when the price already includes tax. The calculator works backward by dividing by 1 plus the VAT rate, then separates the net price and tax portion.
Handle quantities
Quantity makes the tool practical for invoices and orders. You can estimate VAT for one item or multiply the same unit price across several identical items.
Use the right rate
Different countries and categories may have standard, reduced, zero, or exempt VAT rules. The calculator does the math, but the user must choose the correct rate.
Frequently asked questions
VAT stands for value-added tax. It is a consumption tax added to goods and services
in many countries. Some places use GST or sales tax instead, but the basic add/remove tax calculation can be
similar.
To add VAT, multiply the net price by the VAT rate to find the tax amount, then add
that tax to the net price. For example, 100 with 20% VAT becomes 120 gross.
To remove VAT, divide the gross price by 1 plus the VAT rate. For example, if 120
includes 20% VAT, the net price is 120 ÷ 1.20 = 100 and the VAT portion is 20.
No. It only changes the displayed symbol. If you choose pounds, euros, dollars,
rupees, or another symbol, the numbers are unchanged. Enter all amounts in the same currency.
Yes. Many systems have different rates for food, books, services, digital products,
exports, or exempt items. The calculator does not decide the legal rate; it uses whatever rate you enter.
Yes, for basic add/remove tax math. However, invoice rules, exemptions, rounding,
registration requirements, and filing rules may differ, so check your local tax guidance.
