VAT / Sales Tax Calculator

Add tax to a net price or extract tax from a gross price. Works for VAT, GST, IVA and US sales tax — with common rate presets.

AMOUNT IS
PRESETS
GROSS (WITH TAX)
$120.00
NET$ 100.00
TAX$ 20.00
GROSS$ 120.00
Note: Illustration only. Confirm the official rate for your country, state and product.

How VAT / sales tax is calculated

Two directions, one rate:

tax = net × (rate ÷ 100)
gross = net + tax

net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
tax = gross − net

Example: net 100 at 20% → tax 20, gross 120. A ticket that already says 120 including 20% VAT has a net of 100.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose currency and whether the amount is net or gross.
  2. Type the amount and the tax rate (or tap a preset).
  3. Read net, tax and gross.

VAT vs GST vs sales tax

The arithmetic is the same. Names change by country: VAT / IVA in much of Europe and Latin America, GST in India and others, sales tax in the US (often on top of the shelf price). Presets are typical headline rates — always confirm the rate that applies to your city or product.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add 20% VAT to a price?+

Set mode to Net (tax exclusive), enter the price and 20. Gross = net × 1.20. A 50 item becomes 60.

How do I remove VAT from a gross price?+

Set mode to Gross (tax inclusive). Net = gross ÷ (1 + rate/100). 120 including 20% VAT is 100 net and 20 tax.

Does this work for GST in India?+

Yes. Use the 5%, 12%, 18% or 28% presets. It is the same inclusive/exclusive math as VAT.

Is US sales tax included in the shelf price?+

Usually not. US sales tax is typically added at the register (net mode). VAT in the EU is usually already in the advertised price (gross mode).

Are these official legal rates?+

No. Presets are common headline rates to save typing. Your invoice must use the rate your tax authority requires.

Is my data private?+

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
