Calculation parameters

Amount VAT rate (%)

Operation

1000 + 20% VAT =

1200

20% VAT

# Amount excl. VAT 1000

VAT amount 200

= Amount incl. VAT 1200

Formula: X × (1 + R / 100) X is the amount excluding VAT and R is the VAT rate

How it works Find VAT from the net amount and add it to the original amount.

To add VAT, multiply the net amount by 1 + rate / 100. To extract VAT from a total, divide it by 1 + rate / 100.

For example, for an amount of 1000 and a VAT rate of 20%:

1000 × (1 + 20 / 100) = 1200

VAT is 200 and the VAT-inclusive amount is 1200. If 1200 already includes VAT at 20%, the net amount is 1000.

More examples 1000 + 20% VAT = 1200 500 + 7% VAT = 535 1200 at 20% VAT → 1000 excl. VAT 1070 at 7% VAT → 1000 excl. VAT

How do I add VAT to an amount?

Multiply the net amount by the VAT rate and divide by 100, then add the VAT amount to the original amount.

How do I extract VAT from a VAT-inclusive amount?

Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1 + VAT rate / 100. The result is the net amount, and the difference between total and net is VAT.

Can I use a different VAT rate?

Yes. The rate is entered manually, so the calculator is not tied to a specific country or fixed VAT rate.

Are decimal values supported?

Yes. Amounts and rates accept either a dot or comma as the decimal separator.
