About VAT calculator

Add VAT to a net price or take it out of a gross price, with common rates such as 5 percent in the UAE, 15 percent in Saudi Arabia and 20 percent in the UK. The key mistake is subtracting the rate from the gross: to remove 20 percent VAT, divide by 1.20, not multiply by 0.80.

How to use VAT calculator

  1. Enter the price.
  2. Choose a VAT rate from the list or type your own.
  3. Pick add VAT or remove VAT and read the net, VAT and gross amounts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the gross price by one plus the rate. With 5 percent VAT, divide by 1.05. The difference between the two amounts is the VAT.

What is the difference between net and gross price?

The net price is without VAT and the gross price includes it. When removing VAT the tool treats your number as the gross price and works back to net.
