VAT Inclusive & Exclusive Calculator

Split VAT-inclusive amounts or add VAT to a net price.

Method and assumptions

This arithmetic tool does not determine whether VAT applies, the correct jurisdiction, registration duty or recoverability. Enter the rate and price treatment from your tax records.

Exclusive mode: VAT = net × rate. Inclusive mode: net = gross / (1 + rate), and VAT = gross - net.

Common questions

Does this determine the correct VAT rate?

No. Rates and obligations depend on jurisdiction, product and seller status.

Why is VAT not 20% of an inclusive price?

A 20% rate is applied to the net amount, so VAT is one-sixth of a price that already includes 20% VAT.
