VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax added at each stage of the supply chain, ultimately paid by the end consumer. Rates vary by country and product type.
How the VAT Calculator Works
This calculator lets you either add VAT to a net (pre-tax) price to find the gross (tax-included) total, or remove VAT from a gross price to find the underlying net amount.
Formula
Remove VAT: Net = Gross / (1 + Rate / 100); VAT = Gross − Net
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical VAT rate?
Standard VAT rates vary widely by country — for example, the UK standard rate is 20%, many EU countries range from 17% to 27%, and some goods qualify for reduced or zero rates.
How do I remove VAT from a price that already includes it?
Divide the gross (VAT-inclusive) price by (1 + VAT rate/100). For a 20% rate, divide by 1.20 to find the net price, then subtract from the gross to find the VAT amount.
Is VAT the same as sales tax?
They're similar consumption taxes but applied differently. VAT is collected incrementally at each stage of production and is typically included in displayed prices, while US sales tax is usually added at the final point of sale.
