Calculate VAT / tax
What does a VAT / tax calculator do?
A VAT / tax calculator converts between pre-tax and tax-inclusive amounts for quotations, invoice drafts or promotion prices. It supports both directions and reports tax itself. It performs arithmetic only; it does not determine a legal rate or filing obligation for any jurisdiction.
Calculation method
For pre-tax input: tax = pre-tax price × tax rate and tax-inclusive price = pre-tax price + tax. For tax-inclusive input: pre-tax price = tax-inclusive price ÷ (1 + tax rate) and tax = tax-inclusive price − pre-tax price. Rates are entered as percentages.
Two-way tax example
With a pre-tax price of 100 and a 5% rate, tax is 5 and the tax-inclusive price is 105. Entering 105 as tax-inclusive with 5% returns the same pre-tax 100 and tax 5.
How to use
- Choose pre-tax to tax-inclusive or tax-inclusive to pre-tax.
- Enter the matching price and tax rate.
- Review pre-tax, tax and tax-inclusive figures, then apply local rounding rules.
Frequently asked questions
Will it tell me which tax rate applies?
No. Rates depend on product, jurisdiction, customer status and law. Confirm them with an official source or qualified tax professional.
Can I use a 0% rate?
Yes. At 0%, pre-tax and tax-inclusive prices are identical and tax is zero.
Can reverse tax calculations produce decimals?
Yes. Invoice and accounting systems differ in decimal precision and rounding timing, so use your applicable system for issued or filed figures.
