VAT Calculator
Calculate VAT amounts and gross/net values.
About Calculator
The VAT Calculator determines the Value Added Tax amount and converts between net (excluding VAT) and gross (including VAT) prices. It supports custom VAT rates for any country's tax system.
The formula is simple: Gross = Net × (1 + VAT rate / 100). To extract net from gross: Net = Gross / (1 + VAT rate / 100). The VAT amount is the difference between gross and net.
Common VAT rates include 23% (Poland standard), 19% (Germany), 20% (France, UK), and 21% (Spain). Reduced rates often apply to food, books, and medical supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I calculate VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate/100). For example, with 23% VAT: Net = Gross / 1.23. The VAT amount = Gross − Net.
What is the difference between VAT and sales tax?
VAT is collected at each stage of production and sale, while sales tax is only charged at the final point of sale to the consumer. Functionally, the end price calculation is similar.
Are the results legally valid for invoicing?
The calculator provides correct mathematical results, but actual invoicing must comply with your local tax authority's rounding and reporting rules. Use this for estimation only.
