Calculation formula

Gross price = net price + tax amount; tax amount = net price × VAT rate / 100.

Assumptions and accuracy

Review timing, rates, fees and result notes when comparing scenarios. Future returns and rates are assumptions rather than guaranteed outcomes. Monetary display follows the currency’s precision; intermediate calculations retain additional digits.

Understanding this calculation

VAT is calculated on the net price. Add VAT by multiplying the net price by 1 + rate/100. Remove VAT by dividing the gross price by the same factor.

Worked examples

Add 20% VAT to a net price of 100

Net price 100; VAT rate 20%; leave gross price and tax amount blank.

  1. Tax = 100 × 20 / 100 = 20.
  2. Gross = 100 + 20 = 120.

The tax is 20 and the gross price is 120.

Remove 20% VAT from a gross price of 120

Gross price 120; VAT rate 20%; leave net price and tax amount blank.

  1. Net = 120 ÷ 1.20 = 100.
  2. Tax = 120 − 100 = 20.

The net price is 100. Subtracting 20% of 120 would give 96, which uses the wrong tax base.

Find the rate from a gross price and tax amount

Gross price 120; tax amount 20; leave rate and net price blank.

  1. Net = 120 − 20 = 100.
  2. Rate = 20 ÷ 100 × 100 = 20%.

The implied VAT rate is 20%.

Common questions

Which two fields can I enter?

Any pair of VAT rate, net price, gross price and tax amount. Leave the other two blank. All six combinations are supported when they determine a unique nonnegative answer.

Can I use a zero VAT rate?

Yes. A zero rate and a known net or gross price determine zero tax. A zero rate and zero tax alone do not determine a price, so the calculator asks for a different pair.

Why are some inputs rejected?

Gross price cannot be below net price for this nonnegative VAT model. Tax cannot exceed gross price. Two zero amounts without a known rate do not determine a unique rate. Clear empties all four fields.

Scope and assumptions

Enter the applicable rate yourself. This tool solves one nonnegative price/rate relationship; it does not determine country-specific eligibility, exemptions or invoice-level rounding. Currency labels do not select a tax jurisdiction.
