Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate VAT?

To add VAT, multiply the net amount by the rate (e.g. net × 0.20) and add it to the net. To remove VAT from a gross amount, divide by 1 + rate (e.g. gross ÷ 1.20).

What's the difference between net (excl. VAT) and gross (incl. VAT)?

Net (excl. VAT) is the price before tax; gross (incl. VAT) is what the customer actually pays. Gross = net + VAT.

What are the standard VAT rates in Europe?

Standard rates vary by country — for example 20% in France, 21% in Spain and Belgium, 22% in Italy, 19% in Germany and 23% in Portugal. Many countries also have reduced rates for specific goods.

How do I remove VAT from a total?

Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate. For 20% VAT: net = gross ÷ 1.20, and the VAT is the difference.

Can I use a reduced or custom VAT rate?

Yes — just type any rate you need (for example a reduced 5.5%, 10% or a country-specific rate). The calculator adapts instantly.

Is this VAT calculator free?

Yes, it's completely free and works in your browser — no signup, no limits. Use it for invoices, quotes and everyday pricing.

How does the VAT calculator work?

It takes Amount, VAT rate (%) and Mode and derives Net (excl. VAT), VAT and Gross (incl. VAT) from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

Which values does the calculator ask for?

3 values: Amount ($), VAT rate (%) and Mode. Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

What does a typical calculation look like?

With Amount = $100.00, VAT rate (%) = 20 and Mode = Add VAT (net → gross), the calculator returns Net (excl. VAT) = $100.00, VAT = $20.00 and Gross (incl. VAT) = $120.00. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

How much does the result change with different inputs?

It moves a lot. Using Amount = $200.00, VAT rate (%) = 22 and Mode = Remove VAT (gross → net) instead, Net (excl. VAT) goes from $100.00 to $163.93 — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.
