Add VAT to a price
VAT = price × rate ÷ 100
Total = price + VAT
Example: 10,000 at 7.5% gives 750 VAT and a total of 10,750.

Understand the numbers
One rate. Two useful calculations.
VAT is added to the price before tax. If you already have a VAT-inclusive total, removing VAT means dividing by the VAT multiplier, rather than subtracting the percentage directly.
Remove VAT from a total
Price = total ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
VAT = total − price
Example: 10,750 including 7.5% VAT gives an original price of 10,000.
A few quick answers
Can I use a different VAT rate?
Yes. Enter any rate from 0% to 100%, with up to 4 decimal places. The example rate is not selected from your country or currency.
Why shouldn’t I subtract 7.5% from a VAT-inclusive total?
The VAT percentage applies to the price before tax. Divide the total by 1.075 to recover the original price at 7.5%, then subtract that price from the total to find the VAT.
How are decimal amounts rounded?
When adding VAT, the tax amount rounds to the nearest smallest currency unit, then adds to the original price. When removing VAT, the original price rounds first and VAT is the difference from the entered total. Half-unit ties round upward.
