Frequently asked questions
What does the calculation include?
VAT is calculated on the net amount. If the entered amount is net, VAT = net × rate and gross = net × (1 + rate). If it already includes VAT, net = gross ÷ (1 + rate), then VAT = gross − net. For example, 1,000 net at 20% gives 200 VAT and 1,200 gross; 1,200 gross at 20% gives 1,000 net and 200 VAT. The rate and tax treatment vary by transaction; this tool does not determine them or check exemptions.
Which values should I enter?
Convert an amount between net and gross using a VAT rate you enter. Use consistent amounts, units, and time periods.
Is the result definitive?
No. Check the assumptions and rules that apply to your situation; this is an illustrative calculation, not professional advice.
