DocomintVAT Calculator
Add VAT to a net price or remove it from a VAT-inclusive price, at any rate.
Handles both directions of a VAT calculation: adding VAT onto a net price (common when quoting a B2C price from a B2B cost) and — the step people get wrong more often — extracting the net price and VAT amount from a price that already includes VAT, which needs dividing by (1 + rate), not just subtracting a flat percentage.
Example: A gross, VAT-inclusive price of $120 at a 20% VAT rate has a net price of $100 (not $96, which is what subtracting 20% directly would wrongly give) — remove mode divides by 1.20 first, then reports the $20 VAT as the difference.
How it works
- Choose whether you're adding VAT to a net price or removing it from a gross price
- Enter the price and the VAT rate
- The net, VAT, and gross amounts appear instantly, calculated on your device
Frequently asked questions
How do you remove VAT from a gross (VAT-inclusive) price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate/100), not by subtracting the percentage directly. A $120 price including 20% VAT has a net price of $120 / 1.20 = $100 — subtracting 20% of $120 directly would wrongly give $96.
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax — a consumption tax applied at each stage of production/sale in the UK, EU, and many other countries, usually already included in the displayed retail price rather than added at checkout like US sales tax.
