What this calculator does
VAT is added to a net price or extracted from a gross price. Rates vary by country and by the type of goods or service, so the correct rate matters as much as the arithmetic.
This calculator shows net, VAT and gross instantly for standard, reduced and zero rates. It is a practical tool for invoices, quotes and price comparisons.
VAT formula
Gross = Net × (1 + rate) · Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate) At 20%, a net price of 100 becomes 120 gross. From 120 gross, the net amount is 100 and VAT is 20.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove VAT from a gross amount?
Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the VAT rate. At 20%, divide by 1.2. The difference between gross and net is the VAT.
Which rate should I use?
It depends on the jurisdiction and the item. Many countries use a standard rate plus reduced rates for food, books, transport or culture. Check current local rules.
Does VAT apply to exports?
Cross-border and export rules vary. Reverse charge, zero-rating and exemption may apply. Consult a tax professional for cross-border invoices.
