VAT Calculator — Add or Remove VAT Instantly

To add VAT: multiply the net price by the VAT rate and add to the original. Example: $100 + 20% VAT = $100 x 1.20 = $120. To remove VAT: divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate). Example: $120 / 1.20 = $100 net, $20 VAT. This calculator handles both directions instantly.

Divide the VAT-inclusive price by (1 + VAT rate as a decimal). For 20% VAT: divide by 1.20. For example, if a product costs $240 including 20% VAT, the net price is $240 / 1.20 = $200, and the VAT amount is $40. This calculator does this automatically.

The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, applied to most goods and services. A reduced rate of 5% applies to some items like home energy and children's car seats. A 0% rate applies to most food, children's clothing, and books. Some items like education and health services are VAT-exempt.

Multiply the price by 0.20 to get the VAT amount, then add it to the original price. Or simply multiply by 1.20. For example, $500 x 1.20 = $600 (including $100 VAT). This calculator lets you enter any amount and rate to get instant results.
