How to Use the VAT Calculator
Enter the price and VAT rate for your country. Check "Price includes VAT" if calculating backwards from a VAT-inclusive price. The calculator shows net price, VAT amount, and total.
VAT Calculation Formulas
Add VAT:
VAT Amount = Net Price × (VAT Rate ÷ 100)
Price with VAT = Net Price + VAT Amount
Remove VAT:
Net Price = Price with VAT ÷ (1 + VAT Rate ÷ 100)
VAT Amount = Price with VAT - Net Price
