VAT Calculator – Add or Remove Tax

VAT Calculator VAT = price × s

Add VAT to a pre-tax price, or extract VAT from a VAT-inclusive price. Choose a rate of 8%, 10% or a custom rate.

VAT rate
Direction

The calculator above adds value-added tax to a net price or separates the tax from a price that already includes VAT.

Formulas used

VAT = Net × t, Gross = Net × (1 + t)
Net = Gross / (1 + t)
  • t is the tax rate as a decimal, for example 10% = 0.10.
  • Never subtract t% of the gross price to remove tax; divide by 1 + t instead.

Worked example

A gross price of 1,100 includes 10% VAT:

Net = 1,100 / 1.1 = 1,000, VAT = 100
