What is VAT / GST?

VAT (Value-Added Tax) and GST (Goods and Services Tax) are consumption taxes added to the price of most goods and services. They go by different names worldwide โ€” VAT in the UK and EU, GST in Australia/India/Canada/Singapore/NZ, IVA in Spain/Italy, MwSt in Germany, TVA in France โ€” but the math is the same.

This calculator handles the three calculations everyone needs:

  • Add VAT: You know the net (pre-tax) price and need the gross (final) price.
  • Remove VAT (reverse VAT): You have a final price that already includes VAT and need to know the net price plus how much VAT was charged. This is the most-searched calculation for businesses doing expense reports.
  • VAT Only: You just want to know the tax portion of an amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is VAT calculated?

Adding VAT: Gross = Net ร— (1 + Rate/100). Example: ยฃ100 net + 20% VAT = ยฃ120 gross.

Removing VAT (reverse): Net = Gross / (1 + Rate/100). Example: ยฃ120 gross at 20% VAT = ยฃ100 net + ยฃ20 VAT.

What's the difference between VAT and GST?

They're functionally the same โ€” a consumption tax on goods and services. Different countries just use different names. UK/EU/Nordic countries call it VAT; Australia, NZ, India, Canada, Singapore call it GST. The calculation is identical.

How do I calculate VAT "backwards" from a final price?

That's our Remove VAT mode. Type the gross (final) price, pick the rate, and the calculator shows you the net price plus the VAT portion. Example: A ยฃ120 receipt at 20% VAT breaks down to ยฃ100 net + ยฃ20 VAT.

Why does my country have multiple VAT rates?

Most countries have a standard rate (general goods/services) plus reduced rates for essentials like food, books, medicine, public transport, or hospitality. Some also have a zero-rated category. Use the country dropdown to see all rates.

Are these rates always current?

We update country rates regularly, but VAT/GST rates do change. Always verify with your local tax authority for the most current figures, especially around fiscal year transitions.
