Calculate Value-Added Tax (VAT) Instantly
Our VAT Calculator makes it easy to add or remove Value-Added Tax from a price, allowing you to quickly find the net price, gross price, or VAT amount.
What is a VAT Calculator?
A Value-Added Tax (VAT) Calculator is a tool designed to help businesses and consumers easily calculate the amount of VAT included in a price or add it to a net price. By providing any two of the three main values (net price, VAT rate, or gross price), the calculator can solve for the unknown third value, simplifying accounting, invoicing, and shopping.
How It Works: The VAT Formulas
The calculator uses simple algebraic rearrangements of the core VAT formula:
Gross Price = Net Price × (1 + VAT Rate%)
Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT Rate%)
VAT Amount = Gross Price - Net Price
Simply enter the two values you know, and the calculator solves for the rest.
Interpreting the Results
The calculator provides a clear breakdown of the **Net Price** (the price before tax), the **VAT Amount** (the tax itself), and the **Gross Price** (the final price including tax). This is crucial for businesses that need to report and remit the VAT amount to the government and for consumers who want to understand the true cost of goods and services.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate VAT?
To add VAT to a net price, multiply the net price by (1 + VAT rate). To extract VAT from a gross price, divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate) to find the net price, then subtract the net price from the gross price. Our VAT calculator can do both calculations for you.
What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?
VAT (Value-Added Tax) is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. Sales tax is a tax paid only by the final consumer. While the end effect on the consumer is similar, the collection mechanism is different.
How do I reverse VAT?
To reverse VAT and find the original net price, you divide the total gross price by (1 + the VAT rate as a decimal). For example, to reverse a 20% VAT from a £120 total, you would calculate £120 / 1.20 = £100 net price.
