A VAT and tax calculator that works in both directions — add tax to a net price, or strip tax from a gross amount. Supports any percentage rate and any currency symbol. All calculations happen instantly in your browser with no data sent to a server.
Add Tax starts with a net (pre-tax) price and calculates the gross total you need to charge. Remove Tax works backwards — you enter a gross price (tax already included) and it extracts the original net amount and the tax portion separately.
Common rates include: UK VAT at 20%, EU standard rates between 19–25% (Germany 19%, France 20%, Sweden 25%), Australia GST at 10%, Canada GST at 5%, and the US has no federal VAT but sales tax varies by state from 0–10%.
In Add Tax mode: Tax = Net × (Rate / 100), then Gross = Net + Tax. In Remove Tax mode: Net = Gross / (1 + Rate / 100), then Tax = Gross − Net. Results are rounded to 2 decimal places.
Yes — the calculator is rate-based and works identically for VAT, GST, sales tax, or any other percentage-based tax. Simply enter the applicable rate for your region or transaction.
Results are rounded to 2 decimal places using standard arithmetic rounding, which is suitable for most invoicing needs. For high-volume or legal-grade financial reporting, always verify figures with your accounting software or a qualified accountant.
Yes — use the currency symbol field or the quick-select buttons ($ € £ ¥ ₫) to match your preferred currency. The symbol is cosmetic only and does not affect the calculation.
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever sent to a server, making it safe to use with real financial figures.
The tool accepts any positive rate. You can enter unusual rates like 7.5% or 17.5% for specific regions or historical rates. There is no practical upper limit, though rates above 100% would be unusual.
Whether you're a freelancer raising an invoice, a business owner setting shelf prices, or an accountant reconciling figures, knowing exactly how much tax is included in a price — or needs to be added — is a daily necessity. Our VAT and tax calculator makes both directions fast and effortless: add tax to a net price to find the gross total, or extract the tax from a gross amount to find the original net.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied at each stage of production and distribution of goods and services. Unlike a simple sales tax collected only at the point of sale, VAT is collected incrementally — each business in the supply chain charges VAT on its sales and reclaims VAT on its purchases, with the net amount remitted to the tax authority. The end consumer ultimately bears the full cost.
VAT is used in over 160 countries worldwide. In the European Union, each member state sets its own standard rate (typically between 17% and 27%), while the UK maintains a standard rate of 20%. Australia and New Zealand use a similar system called GST (Goods and Services Tax) at 10% and 15% respectively.
In Add Tax mode, you enter the net price — the price before any tax is applied. The calculator then:
For example, if your net price is $500 and the VAT rate is 20%, the tax amount is $100 and the gross price (what you invoice or charge the customer) is $600. This is the most common scenario for B2B invoicing, where you quote exclusive of VAT and add it separately on the invoice.
In Remove Tax mode, you enter the gross price — a price that already has tax included. This is common in retail, where shelf prices are displayed inclusive of VAT. The calculator reverses the calculation:
(1 + rate/100) to find the net priceThis is sometimes called "working backwards" or "reverse VAT calculation." It's especially useful when you receive an invoice with a total and need to know how much of it was tax, or when reconciling receipts for expense claims.
Here are standard VAT/GST rates for commonly used regions. Always verify current rates with official tax authorities, as rates can change:
The math is simple but easy to get wrong when working backwards. Here are the exact formulas used:
Gross = Net × (1 + Rate / 100) | Tax = Net × (Rate / 100)Net = Gross / (1 + Rate / 100) | Tax = Gross − NetThe common mistake when removing tax is to simply multiply the gross price by the rate (e.g. $600 × 20% = $120). This is wrong — it gives you 20% of the gross, not 20% of the net. The correct tax amount in this example is $100, not $120, because VAT is calculated on the net price, not the gross.
Unlike spreadsheets or dedicated accounting software, a browser-based calculator requires no installation, no account, and no file setup. It's ideal for quick on-the-spot checks: verify an invoice total during a call, estimate the after-tax cost of a purchase, or check a supplier quote without opening your accounting system.
