How VAT Is Calculated
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax used across the EU, UK, and many other countries. To add VAT to a net price, multiply by the VAT rate and add it. To remove VAT from a gross price (a price that already includes VAT), divide by (1 + VAT rate) to find the net price.
VAT rates vary by country and product category — check your local standard rate before using this for accounting purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between VAT and sales tax?
VAT is collected at each stage of production and typically already included in the displayed price in most countries, while US-style sales tax is added only at the final point of sale.
What VAT rate should I use?
This depends on your country and the product or service category. The UK standard rate is 20%, for example, but reduced or zero rates apply to some goods.
Can I use this for invoicing?
This tool gives you the correct arithmetic, but for official invoices always confirm the applicable rate with your local tax authority or accountant.
