VAT Calculator

How it works

Choose whether to add VAT to a net amount or remove VAT from a gross amount, enter the rate, and the tool applies the matching formula—multiplying for adding, dividing by (1 + rate) for removing—to show all three figures.

Benefits

• Handles both adding and removing VAT in one tool
• Shows net, VAT, and gross amounts side by side
• Works for any percentage-based tax rate
• Calculates instantly without uploading pricing data

Use cases

• Add VAT to a quote before sending an invoice
• Back out the VAT portion from a receipt total
• Check reduced or zero VAT rates for specific goods
• Verify a supplier's VAT breakdown on a bill

Best practices

• Confirm which VAT rate applies to your specific goods or services
• Use remove VAT when you only have the tax-inclusive total
• Keep net and gross figures clearly labeled on invoices
• Recheck rates periodically as VAT rules can change

Common mistakes

• Multiplying a gross amount by the VAT rate directly to find VAT
• Mixing up net and gross when entering the amount
• Assuming all goods share the same VAT rate
• Rounding intermediate figures before the final calculation
