How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the gross price by (1 + rate). For 20% VAT that's gross ÷ 1.20. Choose "remove tax" and the calculator does it for you.

Which countries are included?

A starter list of common VAT/GST countries with their standard rates — plus a custom rate field so you can enter any rate, including reduced rates or US state sales tax.

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.

How do I add 20% VAT to a price?

Multiply the net price by the rate and add it on. For £100 at 20% VAT, tax = £100 × 0.20 = £20, so the gross is £120. Use "add tax" mode and the calculator shows net, tax and gross.

How much VAT is in a £120 inclusive price at 20%?

Divide the gross by 1.20 to get the net: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100, so the VAT is £20. This is the reverse calculation — pick "remove tax" mode.

What standard rates are preset?

Presets include the UK (20%), Ireland (23%), Germany (19%), France (20%), Spain (21%), Italy (22%), Netherlands (21%), Australia (10% GST), New Zealand (15% GST), Canada (5% GST), India (18% GST), Singapore (9% GST), UAE (5%) and South Africa (15%), plus a US sales-tax field defaulting to 8.25%.

Can I use this for reduced VAT rates or US sales tax?

Yes. The rate field is editable, so you can type any rate — a reduced VAT rate, a zero rate, or a specific US state and local combined sales-tax rate.

VAT & Sales Tax Calculator

VAT, GST and sales-tax calculator

Quickly add tax to a net price or remove tax from a gross (tax-inclusive) price. Pick a country to load its standard VAT/GST rate, or type any custom rate for reduced rates and US state sales tax. It suits freelancers writing invoices, shoppers checking a receipt, and anyone doing a quick reverse-VAT calculation.

How it works

In add-tax mode your amount is the net price, so tax = net × rate ÷ 100 and gross = net + tax. In remove-tax mode your amount is the gross, tax-inclusive price, so the net is recovered with net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100) and tax = gross − net. Selecting a country fills in its standard rate, but the rate field stays fully editable for reduced rates or any custom percentage.

Example

Add 20% VAT to £100: tax = £100 × 0.20 = £20, gross = £120. Run it in reverse — remove 20% from a £120 inclusive price: net = £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100, with £20 of VAT.

Country	Standard rate
United Kingdom	20% VAT
Germany	19% VAT
Ireland	23% VAT
Australia	10% GST
Canada	5% GST
UAE	5% VAT
