VAT Calculator
Add VAT to a net price, or remove it from a gross price. Enter either figure and see the VAT and the missing side instantly.
VAT rates differ by country and product (UK standard 20%, reduced 5%, zero-rated 0%). This tool is a neutral calculation — use the rate that applies to you.
Net is the price before VAT; gross is the price with VAT included. Adding VAT multiplies net by (1 + rate); removing it divides gross by (1 + rate). Small-rate differences compound on large invoices, so it pays to get the direction right.
How EU VAT works
VAT = Net price times tax rate (varies 17-27% by country). One Stop Shop (OSS) simplifies cross-border filing. Low-value goods (under 150 euro) may use IOSS for quick EU imports. Reverse charge applies to B2B intra-EU sales.
