How the vat calculator works
Adding VAT multiplies the net price by the rate. Removing VAT divides the gross price by one plus the rate — never subtract the percentage directly from a gross figure.
Formula
VAT = net × rate • net = gross ÷ (1 + rate)
Worked example
$1,000 net at 20% VAT gives $200 VAT and a $1,200 gross price.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I just subtract 20% from a gross price?
Because the 20% was applied to the smaller net figure. Dividing by 1.20 is the only correct way to strip VAT out.
Which VAT rate applies to me?
Rates vary by country and product type. Use your local standard, reduced or zero rate.
