VAT Calculator
Add or remove VAT from a price using a standard or custom VAT rate.
How the VAT calculation works
To add VAT, multiply the VAT-exclusive price by the VAT rate, then add that VAT amount to the original price.
To remove VAT from an inclusive price, divide the total by one plus the VAT rate. The difference is the VAT amount.

Frequently asked questions
Can this remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
Yes. Choose VAT-inclusive and the calculator will split the total into the net price and VAT amount.
Can I use a custom VAT rate?
Yes. The calculator defaults to 20%, but you can enter another rate for countries, reduced rates or special scenarios.
Is VAT the same as Australian GST?
They are similar consumption taxes, but rules and rates differ by country. This page is a general calculator, not tax advice.
