About the VAT Calculator
Value Added Tax (VAT) is the primary consumption tax in the European Union, United Kingdom, Australia (GST), and over 160 countries worldwide. Our VAT calculator handles adding VAT to a net price (to find the gross price customers pay) and removing VAT from a gross price (to find the net amount). We support UK (20%), EU country rates, Australian GST (10%), and any custom rate.
How It Works
Adding VAT: Gross Price = Net Price × (1 + VAT Rate/100). Removing VAT: Net Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + VAT Rate/100). VAT Amount = Gross − Net. For example, a UK service provider charging £500 net plus 20% VAT: Gross = £500 × 1.20 = £600. VAT amount = £100. Businesses registered for VAT charge VAT on sales, reclaim VAT on purchases, and remit the difference to HMRC.
