How It Works
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on goods and services at each stage of the supply chain. The end consumer ultimately bears the cost of VAT.
Our calculator supports two modes: adding VAT to a net price (for businesses setting prices) and removing VAT from a gross price (to find the pre-tax amount). Simply toggle the includeVat option.
VAT rates vary by country and product category. Common rates include 20% (UK standard), 19% (Germany), and 10% (Australia). Some essentials like food and children's clothing may have reduced rates.
The Formula
If adding VAT: Gross = Net × (1 + rate/100) | If removing VAT: Net = Gross / (1 + rate/100)Net = price before VAT. VAT = Net × rate/100 (or Gross × rate/(100+rate) for reverse calculation). Gross = price including VAT.
Example
Scenario (adding VAT): You sell a product for $1,000 net and need to add 20% VAT.
Result: VAT amount is $200. The gross price (including VAT) is $1,200.
Scenario (removing VAT): You see a price of $1,200 including 20% VAT and want the net price. The net price is $1,000 with $200 VAT.
