What Is This VAT / GST / Sales Tax Calculator?

This free VAT calculator — also known as a GST calculator or sales tax calculator depending on your country — 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 — just enter the correct rate for your country or select a preset.

How Does This VAT Calculator Work?

Add Tax Mode:
Tax Amount = Price × (Rate ÷ 100)
Total (inc. Tax) = Price + Tax Amount

Remove Tax Mode (reverse VAT):
Tax Amount = Total − (Total ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100))
Pre-Tax Price = Total ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 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 £120 item that includes 20% VAT, you do NOT deduct 20% of £120. The correct calculation is £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100. This VAT calculator handles the reverse calculation automatically.

Add Tax vs Remove Tax — 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.

💡 The most common mistake is deducting the tax percentage directly from the gross price. For £120 at 20% VAT — the correct net is £100 (£120 ÷ 1.20), not £96. Always use Remove Tax mode for the correct reverse calculation.

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 Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove VAT from a price using this VAT calculator?

Switch to “Remove Tax from Total” mode, enter the VAT-inclusive total, and select your VAT rate. The calculator shows the pre-tax (net) price and the VAT amount separately. The correct formula is: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate/100).

What is the VAT rate in the UK?

The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to domestic energy and some other items. A zero rate (0%) applies to most food, children’s clothing, books, and public transport.

What is the GST rate in Australia?

Australia’s GST rate is 10%. A zero rate (GST-free) applies to fresh food, health services, education, and some childcare.

Does the US have VAT?

No — the US does not have a federal VAT or GST. Individual states levy sales tax at rates from 0% to 9.5%+. Unlike VAT, US sales tax is only applied at the final point of sale.
