Privacy: calculations run locally in your browser. No inputs are stored or transmitted.
How it works
Add VAT (net → gross): VAT = net × rate, gross = net + VAT
Remove VAT (gross → net): net = gross ÷ (1 + rate), VAT = gross − net
- Rate is expressed as a percentage (e.g., 20% → 0.20).
- Gross means VAT included; net means VAT excluded.
Examples
- Add VAT: net 100 at 20% → VAT 20 → gross 120
- Remove VAT: gross 120 at 20% → net 100 → VAT 20
- Add VAT: net 59.99 at 7.5% → gross 64.49 (rounded)

FAQ
- What is VAT?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax used in many countries. Prices are often shown as gross (VAT included) for consumers, while businesses may track net and VAT separately.
- What’s the difference between VAT and sales tax?
Sales tax is typically added at checkout, while VAT is often included in the displayed price (gross). VAT is collected throughout the supply chain, not only at the final sale.
- How do I remove VAT from a VAT-included price?
If the price is VAT-included (gross), net = gross ÷ (1 + VAT rate). VAT amount = gross − net.
- How do I add VAT to a net price?
If the price is VAT-excluded (net), VAT amount = net × VAT rate. Gross = net + VAT amount.
- What if the VAT rate is 0%?
Then net and gross are the same and the VAT amount is 0.
- Does this match receipt rounding?
This tool uses standard rounding for display. Some invoices/receipts may round differently (per line item or per tax component).
