FAQ

What is the difference between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive prices?
A VAT-exclusive (net) price does not include tax — VAT is added on top. A VAT-inclusive (gross) price already contains the tax. Formula: Gross = Net × (1 + rate); Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate).
How do I extract VAT from a price that already includes tax?
Enter the gross price in the "Gross price" field. The calculator applies Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate) and shows the VAT amount and the original net price.

VAT-Inclusive vs VAT-Exclusive Pricing

VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect consumption tax levied at each stage of the supply chain. In most countries, consumer prices are displayed inclusive of VAT (you pay what you see), while business-to-business invoices typically show exclusive prices with VAT listed separately.

The Two Formulas

Adding VAT: Gross = Net × (1 + r) — where r is the rate as a decimal (e.g., 20 % → 0.20). Removing VAT: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + r). The VAT amount is always Gross − Net.

Common VAT Rates

Standard rates vary by country: Germany 19 %, France 20 %, UK 20 %, Sweden 25 %, Poland 23 %, Romania 19 %, Turkey 20 %. Reduced rates (5–10 %) typically apply to food, medicine, and books.
