Add or remove VAT from any price with our VAT Calculator — the everyday tool for businesses and shoppers in VAT countries. Enter an amount and the VAT rate, then choose whether to add VAT to a net price or extract VAT from a gross price.

The "remove" (backwards VAT) mode is what businesses need most: invoices often show totals including VAT, and accounting requires the net amount and VAT portion separately. The "add" mode shows what a customer will actually pay at checkout.

Standard European rates are pre-known anchors: 20% (UK, France), 21% (Spain, Netherlands), 19% (Germany), 22% (Italy), and 23% (Portugal, Poland, Ireland). Enter any custom rate for reduced categories or other countries. The math is identical to sales tax — only the collection mechanism differs.

공식
Add: gross = net × (1 + VAT%) | Remove: net = gross ÷ (1 + VAT%), VAT = gross − net

자주 묻는 질문

How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net price by (1 + VAT rate). For a €100 item at 21% VAT: €100 × 1.21 = €121. The VAT portion is €21.
How do I remove VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate). For €121 at 21%: €121 ÷ 1.21 = €100 net. This "backwards VAT" calculation is what businesses need for invoices.
What are the standard VAT rates in Europe?
Standard rates include 20% (UK, France), 21% (Spain, Netherlands, Belgium), 19% (Germany), 22% (Italy), and 23% (Portugal, Poland, Ireland). Reduced rates apply to food, books, and medicine.
Is VAT the same as sales tax?
No. VAT is charged at each production stage with credits for tax already paid, while sales tax is charged only at the final sale. The displayed price math for both is identical.
