What is the difference between GST exclusive and inclusive?

Exclusive adds tax on top of the net amount; inclusive backs the tax out of a gross amount to show the net and tax split.

How do I remove GST or VAT from a price that already includes it?

Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate divided by 100 to get the net amount, then subtract the net from the gross to find the tax inside it. In plain words: net equals gross divided by (1 plus rate over 100). At 20 percent, a gross price of 120 divides by 1.2 to give a net of 100, so the tax portion is 20, not 24.

Which rate should I use for my country?

Pick your country preset for the standard rate: India GST has several slabs (5, 12, 18 and 28 percent), the UK and France use 20 percent VAT, Germany 19 percent, the UAE 5 percent, Australia 10 percent GST and Singapore 9 percent GST. Reduced rates apply to some goods, so use the custom rate option if your product has a special rate.

01
Invoices, quotes and price lists constantly need tax added or stripped out, and the remove direction is where most people go wrong. Taking a percentage off a tax inclusive price does not give you the net figure, because the tax was worked out on the smaller net amount in the first place. This calculator handles both directions with the correct maths and shows net, tax and gross side by side so there is no guessing about which number is which.
02
The presets cover the rates people ask for most: the four India GST slabs, UK and France VAT at 20 percent, Germany at 19 percent, UAE VAT at 5 percent, Australia GST at 10 percent, Singapore GST at 9 percent and Canada GST at 5 percent. Anything else, such as a reduced rate for food or books, can be typed in as a custom rate. Amounts are shown as plain numbers to two decimal places, since the tool works for any currency.

GST / VAT Calculator FAQs

How do I add GST to a net price?

Multiply the net price by one plus the tax rate as a decimal. At 18% GST, a 1,000 rupee net price becomes 1,000 times 1.18, which is 1,180. The calculator shows the gross total and the 180 tax portion separately.
