VAT Calculator – Add or Remove Value Added Tax

How to Use the VAT Calculator

Value Added Tax (VAT) can be tricky to calculate manually, especially when you need to switch between inclusive and exclusive pricing. Our VAT Calculator simplifies this process for business owners, freelancers, and consumers alike. Whether you are pricing a new service or checking a receipt, this tool provides precision in seconds.

Add VAT vs. Remove VAT

Understanding the difference between adding and removing VAT is crucial for accurate bookkeeping. When you Add VAT, you are starting with a "Net" price and calculating the total "Gross" price that the customer will pay. Conversely, when you Remove VAT, you are starting with the "Gross" total and working backward to find the original price before tax was applied. This is often necessary when using our Gross Margin Calculator to determine your actual profit after taxes.
