How to use the tool
Price (including VAT): Type the final amount you paid or will charge—try 249.99 USD or 42.50 EUR.
VAT Rate %: Enter the applicable percentage—examples: 15 or 9.25.
Click “Calculate”: The script returns three values:
VAT is a multi-stage consumption tax charged on the value added at each production or distribution step (European Commission, 2022).
How does the calculator find tax from a total price?
It divides the tax-inclusive price by (1+r) to obtain the net amount, then subtracts to isolate VAT—identical to OECD guidance (OECD VAT Manual, 2019).
Is the calculation precise?
The tool relies on IEEE-754 double precision; rounding to two decimals mirrors invoicing rules in ISO 20022 INV.001 (ISO, 2020).
Can I switch currencies?
Yes—currency symbols are cosmetic; the maths works on any numeric amount (World Bank FX Guide, 2023).
Which VAT rates apply inside the EU?
As of 2023, standard rates span 17 % (Luxembourg) to 27 % (Hungary) (European Commission VAT rates table, 2023).
Is VAT the same as sales tax?
No—VAT taxes every stage; U.S. sales tax applies only at final retail (Tax Foundation, 2021).
Does the tool store my inputs?
All processing occurs locally in your browser; no data transmits to any server (OWASP Client-Side Privacy, 2022).
How do I verify the result?
Multiply the net price by (r); the product should equal the VAT amount—“always cross-check with reverse multiplication” (HMRC VAT Notice 700, 2023).
