VAT Calculator
Add VAT to a net price, or back it out of a gross total. Pick a country to auto-fill the standard rate, or type your own (handy for reduced rates).
Quick answerAdd VAT: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100). Remove VAT: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). £100 net at 20% UK VAT becomes £120; a £120 gross at 20% VAT was £100 net with £20 VAT included.

How VAT is calculated
VAT is a percentage added to the net price. Businesses charge VAT on sales (output VAT) and reclaim VAT on purchases (input VAT) — the difference is what they owe to the tax authority. Consumers pay the gross price; only registered businesses can reclaim.
