This VAT calculator adds VAT to a net amount or removes VAT from a gross amount.
It supports 20%, 5%, 0% and custom VAT percentage rates.
The first four screens separate settings, amount, working and history so the layout stays clear.
Canonical folder: /vat-calculator/
HOW TO USE IT
Choose ADD VAT when the amount is before VAT and you need the gross total.
Choose REMOVE VAT when the amount already includes VAT and you need the net price.
Select the VAT rate, press NEXT, enter the amount, then press SOLVE.
Use NEXT again to view working and recent history.
CUSTOM VAT RATE
Select CUSTOM when you need a rate that is not listed in the menu.
Type the custom percentage into the custom box before pressing SOLVE.
The multiplier updates from the percentage, so 12.5% becomes 1.125.
Custom rates are useful for checks, examples and non-standard tax calculations.

FAQ
What does add VAT mean? It turns a net price into a gross price.
What does remove VAT mean? It extracts the net price from a VAT-inclusive total.
Can I use 5%? Yes. Choose 5% from the VAT rate menu.
Can I use a custom rate? Yes. Choose CUSTOM and type the rate.
MORE FAQ
Is this financial advice? No. It is a calculator for arithmetic estimates.
Does it round? Yes. Choose 0, 1, 2 or 3 decimal places.
Why is 20% removed by dividing? Gross is net multiplied by 1.20, so removing VAT divides by 1.20.
Does 0% change the amount? No. A zero rate keeps net and gross the same.
