What Is This VAT / GST / Sales Tax Calculator?
This free VAT calculator โ also known as a GST calculator or sales tax calculator depending on your country โ instantly adds tax to a price or removes tax from a tax-inclusive total. It works for any tax rate worldwide and includes quick presets for 30+ countries. Whether you are a business owner invoicing customers, a freelancer quoting fees, a traveller calculating prices abroad, or simply shopping online, this VAT calculator gives you the exact answer in one click.
In fact, VAT, GST, and sales tax are structurally similar but differ by country. This VAT calculator handles all three with identical mathematics โ just enter the correct rate for your country or select a preset.
How Does This VAT Calculator Work?
Tax Amount = Price ร (Rate รท 100)
Total (inc. Tax) = Price + Tax Amount
Remove Tax Mode (reverse VAT):
Tax Amount = Total โ (Total รท (1 + Rate รท 100))
Pre-Tax Price = Total รท (1 + Rate รท 100)
The reverse VAT calculation (removing tax from a tax-inclusive price) is where most people make errors. For example, to find the pre-tax price of a ยฃ120 item that includes 20% VAT, you do NOT deduct 20% of ยฃ120. The correct calculation is ยฃ120 รท 1.20 = ยฃ100. This VAT calculator handles the reverse calculation automatically.
Add Tax vs Remove Tax โ Which Mode Should I Use?
- Add Tax mode: Use when you have a pre-tax (net) price and need to calculate the total the customer pays including tax.
- Remove Tax mode: Use when you have a tax-inclusive (gross) price and need to find the pre-tax amount and tax portion.
What Is the Difference Between VAT, GST, and Sales Tax?
- VAT (Value Added Tax): Used in the UK, EU, and most of the world. Collected at every stage of the supply chain.
- GST (Goods and Services Tax): Functionally identical to VAT but named differently in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, and Singapore.
- Sales Tax (US): Only applied at the point of final sale. Rates vary by state, county, and city. No federal US sales tax exists.
VAT Rates Around the World
Standard VAT rates range from 5% (Canada GST, UAE) to 27% (Hungary). Most developed economies have rates between 15% and 25%. The UK standard VAT rate is 20%. Australia’s GST is 10%. Singapore’s GST increased to 9% in 2024.
VAT, GST, and Sales Tax Rules Vary by Jurisdiction
The add-tax and remove-tax maths is straightforward, but the legal rate and treatment depend on the country, state, product, customer, and whether the seller is registered. Some items are zero-rated or exempt, and some jurisdictions apply tax to shipping or tax-inclusive prices differently. Choose the correct rate for the transaction and verify the invoice rules with the relevant tax authority. This calculator performs the percentage arithmetic and is not tax advice.
