This VAT calculator adds Value Added Tax to a net price or removes it from a gross price. Use 'Add VAT' when you have a price before tax and want the gross amount, or 'Remove VAT' when you have a VAT-inclusive total and need the net price and the VAT portion.

The rate presets cover the most common UK bands — the 20% standard rate, the 5% reduced rate and the 0% zero rate — but you can type any rate for other countries. The calculator splits every figure into the VAT amount, the net price and the gross price.

  2. 2Enter the amount and select your currency.
  3. 3Type the VAT rate or tap a preset (20%, 5% or 0%).
  4. 4Read the VAT amount, net price and gross price.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove VAT from a gross price?+

Divide the VAT-inclusive gross by (1 + rate ÷ 100) to get the net price, then subtract the net from the gross to find the VAT. The 'Remove VAT' mode does this automatically.

What are the standard UK VAT rates?+

The standard rate is 20%, the reduced rate is 5% (used for things like domestic energy) and the zero rate is 0% (used for most food and children's clothing). Other countries set their own rates.

What is the difference between net and gross?+

Net is the price before VAT and gross is the price including VAT. Businesses often quote net prices, while consumers usually see gross prices.
