Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate VAT from a net price?
Multiply the net price by the rate. VAT = net × rate ÷ 100, and gross = net + VAT. Example: $100 net at 20% → $20 VAT, i.e. $120 gross.
How do I find the net price from a gross price?
Divide the gross by (1 + rate). For $120 gross at 20%: 120 ÷ 1.20 = $100 net, so $20 VAT. The tool does this automatically.
What are typical VAT rates?
They vary by country, often between 5% and 27%. Reduced rates apply to certain goods and services. You can enter any rate in the tool.
Does this work outside Europe?
Yes. The net/VAT/gross logic is universal (VAT, sales tax, IVA, GST…); just enter the rate that applies to you.
