How the Sales Tax & VAT Calculator works

Add tax: Total = Price × (1 + t ÷ 100) · Tax inside a tax-inclusive price = Price − Price × 100 ÷ (100 + t)

t — tax rate in %

The rate is yours to set: it is not looked up for any country, and local rules (reduced rates, exemptions, several taxes stacked) are not modelled. For India's GST slabs with the CGST + SGST split, use the GST calculator.

Worked example

A price of 100 at a 20% tax rate:

100 + 20% tax	120 (tax 20)
Tax inside 120 (tax-incl.)	20, price before tax 100

Adding and removing tax are exact inverses: 20% added to 100 gives 120, and the tax inside 120 is 20, not 24.

The arithmetic is the same in any currency; the calculator shows results in the currency you pick.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the tax inside a price not simply the rate times the price?

Because the tax was charged on the price before tax, not on the total. 20% of 120 is 24, but the tax inside 120 is only 20. Divide by 1.20 to get the price before tax.

Does this know my country's tax rate?

No. Enter the rate that applies to what you are buying; the calculator does the arithmetic in whatever currency you pick.
