VAT Calculator
Add or remove VAT at any rate.
Value added tax is charged on most goods and services in the UK, the EU and many other countries. This VAT calculator adds VAT to a net amount or extracts the VAT already included in a gross price.
If you are VAT-registered, your invoices usually need to show your VAT number, the VAT rate and the VAT amount — all of which our invoice generator supports.
Formula
Add VAT: VAT = Net × Rate; Gross = Net + VATRemove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate); VAT = Gross − Net
Example
£100 net at 20% VAT gives £20 VAT and a £120 gross price. £120 gross includes £20 of VAT.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove 20% VAT from a price?
Divide the gross price by 1.2. The result is the net price; the difference is the VAT.
What must a VAT invoice include?
Typically your business name and address, VAT registration number, invoice number and date, a description of the supply, the net amount, VAT rate and VAT amount, and the total. Requirements vary by country.
Is VAT the same as sales tax?
Both are consumption taxes, but VAT is collected at each stage of the supply chain with credits for VAT paid on inputs, while US sales tax is generally collected only on the final sale.
