How to use the VAT / Tax Calculator

  1. Enter your tax rate as a percentage. Any rate works, so it suits VAT, GST or sales tax in any country.
  2. Type either the net amount to add tax, or the gross amount to extract the tax that is already included.
  3. Read the net, tax and gross figures, and copy them if you need to paste them into a quote or a spreadsheet.

When to use it

The awkward case is always the backwards one: a customer quotes a tax-inclusive budget and you need to know the net you will actually keep, or a receipt shows only the total and you need the tax line for your books. Adding tax is easy in your head; removing it correctly is not, because dividing by the rate, not multiplying, is the right operation.

Good to know

Extracting tax from a gross figure uses gross ÷ (1 + rate), not gross × rate. The calculator does that for you. It does not know which rate applies to which product in your country, so check the correct rate before quoting.
