What is VAT?
VAT, or value added tax, is commonly shown as a percentage added to a net price. This calculator can add VAT to a net amount or remove VAT from a gross amount.
The key outputs are net price, VAT amount, and gross price. VAT rules can vary by country, product type, exemptions, and business status.
VAT formula and example
To add VAT: Gross Price = Net Price x (1 + VAT Rate). VAT Amount = Gross Price - Net Price.
Example: adding 20% VAT to $100 creates $20 VAT and a gross total of $120. Removing 20% VAT from $120 gives a net amount of $100.
