How the VAT calculator works

Value Added Tax (VAT) is added to many prices in Europe, the UK, UAE and other regions. Some places use a similar inclusive or exclusive tax under another name. This tool adds VAT to a net price or strips VAT from a gross price.

Rates differ by country and product. Enter the rate that applies to your invoice. For Indian GST with CGST/SGST/IGST, use the GST calculator instead.

Add VAT: VAT = Amount × Rate / 100  •  Gross = Amount + VAT
Remove VAT: Net = Amount / (1 + Rate / 100)  •  VAT = Amount − Net

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose whether you are adding VAT or removing it from a tax-inclusive total.
  2. Enter the net or gross amount and your local VAT rate (for example 5%, 10%, 20%).
  3. Read the net, VAT and gross figures before you send the quote or invoice.

Worked example

Example (EU-style): a €100 net price at 20% VAT becomes €120 gross, with €20 VAT.

Example (reverse): if a customer sees 120 inclusive of 20% VAT, remove VAT to get 100 net for your books.

When this helps

Handy for freelancers and small sellers who invoice across Europe, the UK, UAE or other VAT regions.
