How to use the VAT Calculator

  1. Enter the amount.
  2. Pick your country's VAT rate or type a custom rate.
  3. Choose whether to add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a price that already includes it.

Formula used

Add VAT: VAT = Net × rate, Gross = Net × (1 + rate)

Remove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate), VAT = Gross − Net

Removing 20% VAT from 120 gives 100 net — not 96, which is the common mistake of subtracting 20% of the gross.

VAT Calculator — FAQs

How do I remove VAT from a price?▾
Divide the gross price by 1 plus the VAT rate. For 20% VAT, divide by 1.2: 120 ÷ 1.2 = 100 net and 20 VAT.
What is the VAT rate in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?▾
The UAE charges 5% VAT and Saudi Arabia 15%. Both have zero-rated and exempt categories.
Is VAT the same as GST?▾
They work the same way — a tax on value added at each stage with credit for tax paid on inputs. India, Australia, Canada and Singapore call it GST.
Why not just subtract 20%?▾
Because VAT was added to the net price, not the gross. Subtracting 20% of the gross removes too much.
