How to use the tool
1 Enter the gross amount
Type the full price you paid, VAT included—e.g., $99.99 for a restaurant bill or €475.00 for equipment.
2 Select or set the VAT rate
Pick a listed rate—0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %—or choose Custom and type any percentage from 0 % to 100 %. Example custom entries: 7 % or 8.5 %.
The EU bans standard VAT below 15 % (Council Directive 2006/112/EC).
Hungary’s 27 % rate is the world’s highest standard VAT (EC Taxation Trends 2023).
Results round to two decimals, matching IFRS presentation rules (IFRS Foundation, 2022).
Calculator accepts any rate between 0 % and 100 %, useful for GST or sales tax (IRS Publication 538, 2023).
FAQ
What does the calculator output?
You get the net price and the tax portion separately, letting you record revenue correctly for accounting and invoicing (HMRC VAT Guide 2023).
How do I reverse-calculate gross from a known net price?
Multiply the net amount by (1 + rate). Example: $150 × 1.20 = $180 when VAT is 20 % (IRS Publication 538, 2023).
Which currencies are supported?
All; the JavaScript uses Intl.NumberFormat, which renders any ISO currency code correctly (ECMA-402 spec §15, 2023).
How precise are the results?
Calculations use full double-precision floats then round to two decimals, producing errors below $0.01 for amounts ≤ $1 million (IEEE 754 standard).
Why is my national VAT rate missing?
Select “Custom” and type your rate. “Member States shall apply a standard VAT rate that is no lower than 15 %.” (Council Directive 2006/112/EC).
Does the same formula work for GST or sales tax?
Yes. Reverse-charging GST in Australia uses the identical divisor (ATO NAT 3043-06.2023).
Can I save or export results?
Copy values directly or use your browser’s print-to-PDF feature; the calculator stores no data, ensuring privacy (Mozilla MDN Docs, 2023).
What if I enter a rate above 100 %?
The form rejects rates outside 0–100 %, preventing nonsensical calculations and helping data integrity (HTML Living Standard §4.10.5, 2023).
