VAT FORMULAS

ADD VAT
Gross = Net × (1 + rate)
Use this when the price is before VAT.
REMOVE VAT
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate)
Use this when the price already includes VAT.
VAT AMOUNT
VAT = Gross − Net
The tax amount is shown separately.
MULTIPLIERS
20% = 1.20 • 5% = 1.05
Use 1 plus the VAT rate as a decimal.

WORKED EXAMPLES

20% ADD
£50 × 1.20 = £60
VAT amount is £10.
20% REMOVE
£60 ÷ 1.20 = £50
VAT amount is £10.
5% ADD
£100 × 1.05 = £105
VAT amount is £5.
0% VAT
£100 × 1.00 = £100
Zero rate leaves the amount unchanged.

WHAT THIS TOOL DOES

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.

WHO USES IT

Small businesses use it to estimate invoice totals and VAT amounts.

Freelancers use it to check net prices, gross prices and tax lines.

Shoppers use it to understand whether a price includes or excludes VAT.

Students use it to practise percentage increase and reverse percentage questions.

COMMON VAT USE CASES

Use ADD VAT for quotes, pre-tax prices and net invoice amounts.

Use REMOVE VAT for receipt totals, VAT-inclusive prices and backwards tax checks.

Use the VAT amount line when you need to show the tax separately.

Use rounding controls when you need 0, 1, 2 or 3 decimal places.

VAT SEARCH INTENT

People may search for VAT calculator, add VAT calculator or remove VAT calculator.

Other searches include calculate VAT backwards, net to gross VAT and gross to net VAT.

This page supports those tasks with a working calculator and readable internal help pages.

Search text is spread across full-size panels instead of compressed SEO keyword boxes.

INVOICE SEARCH INTENT

Invoice searches may ask how to add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price.

Receipt searches may ask how much VAT is included in a total amount.

Business searches may involve net amount, VAT amount and gross amount checks.

The calculator keeps all three ideas clear across the first screens.

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.
