How do I add VAT or GST to a price?+
Multiply the net (pre-tax) amount by the tax rate to get the tax, then add it to the net. For example, £100 + 20% VAT = £100 × 0.20 = £20 tax, so the gross price is £120. Select 'Add Tax', enter your amount and rate, and the calculator does this for you.
How do I remove VAT or GST from a total (reverse calculation)?+
Divide the gross (tax-inclusive) amount by 1 plus the rate. For example, to remove 20% VAT from £120: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 net, and the tax portion is £20. Choose 'Remove Tax' to run this reverse calculation automatically.

How do I add or remove VAT/GST from a price?+
To add tax, multiply the net price by (1 + rate). To remove it, divide the gross price by (1 + rate). At 20% VAT, $100 net becomes $120 gross, and $120 gross is $100 net. Choose add or remove mode and enter your rate.
How do I calculate the tax already included in a total (reverse VAT)?+
Tax included = gross - gross / (1 + rate). On a $120 total at 20%, the VAT portion is 120 - 100 = $20. Use remove/reverse mode to extract the tax from an inclusive price.
Does it work for any country's tax rate?+
