How the VAT Calculator Works
Enter an amount and VAT rate, then choose the operation: add VAT to the amount or remove VAT from the amount. The calculator instantly shows the tax amount, price without VAT, and total cost.
VAT Calculation Formulas
- Add VAT: Amount with VAT = Amount × (1 + Rate%)
- Remove VAT: Amount without VAT = Amount ÷ (1 + Rate%)
- VAT Amount: VAT = Amount with VAT − Amount without VAT
For example, with a 20% rate: $100 + VAT = 100 × 1.20 = $120
