The GST/VAT Calculator computes Goods and Services Tax or Value Added Tax on purchases and sales. It calculates the tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive prices, helping businesses with invoicing, pricing strategy, and tax compliance across different countries and tax rates.
How the Formula Works
Tax Amount = Net Price × (Tax Rate ÷ 100). Gross Price = Net Price + Tax. Net Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100).
How to Use This Calculator
Enter the price (before or after tax)
Enter the GST/VAT rate for your country
Select whether the entered price includes or excludes tax
View the net price, tax amount, and gross price
