Removing VAT divides by (1 + rate/100); it does not subtract the rate percent of the gross, which would understate the net.
- 1Choose whether your amount excludes VAT (add the tax) or includes it (take the tax out).
- 2Enter the amount.
- 3Enter the VAT or GST rate for your country and product.
- 4Read the net, tax and gross figures.
Adding 20% to a net 100 gives tax of 20 and a gross of 120. Removing it from 120 gives exactly the same split: net 100, tax 20. Subtracting 20% of 120 would wrongly give a net of 96, which is why the remove mode divides by 1.2 instead.
- Rates vary by country and often by product category; enter the rate that applies to your transaction rather than assuming a standard one.
- Figures are shown to two decimals. Invoices that round each line separately can differ by a cent from a calculation on the total.
- The same math covers GST and sales-tax style inclusive pricing wherever a single rate applies.
Divide the gross by (1 + rate/100). At 20%, divide by 1.2. The tax inside a gross of 120 is 20, not 24.
About this tool
The VAT Calculator adds VAT or GST to a net price, or strips it back out of a gross price, showing net, tax and gross side by side. Removing tax correctly is the part people get wrong most often, and this tool does it the right way: dividing by (1 + rate), not subtracting a percentage of the total.
