Add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price.
Net × (1 + VAT rate) = gross. At 20% VAT, a gross price of ₹1,200 is ₹1,000.00 before VAT plus ₹200.00 VAT.
Value-added tax (VAT) is charged on goods and services in more than 160 countries. This calculator adds VAT to a net (VAT-exclusive) price, or removes it from a gross (VAT-inclusive) price, and shows the VAT amount at whatever rate you enter. The default is 20%, the UK standard rate.
Check the correct VAT rate for your country and goods — many countries have reduced rates for some items. India uses GST rather than VAT; use the Sales Tax / GST Calculator for that. See also the Discount Calculator.
The calculator applies the standard financial formulas step by step.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Amount before tax | ₹1,000.00 |
| VAT amount | ₹200.00 |
| Total including tax | ₹1,200.00 |
| If the tax is split in two (e.g. CGST + SGST) | ₹100.00 each |
| Case | Result |
|---|---|
| 1,200 gross at 20% → net | ₹1,000.00 |
| 1,200 gross at 5% → net | ₹1,142.86 |
| 1,000 net + 20% → gross | ₹1,200.00 |
| 1,000 net + 5% → gross | ₹1,050.00 |
| 1,000 net + 12.5% → gross | ₹1,125.00 |
Multiply the net price by the VAT rate ÷ 100. At 20%, VAT on 100 is 20.
Divide the gross price by 1 + the rate: gross ÷ 1.2 at 20% VAT.
20%, with reduced rates of 5% and a 0% zero rate on certain goods. Check GOV.UK for the current rates.
