Sales tax formula
Add tax on top, or remove it from a price that already includes it. The last row is the reverse of 18%.
| Price you enter | Rate | Tax | Other side |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 10% | 10 | 110 |
| 100 | 18% | 18 | 118 |
| 100 | 20% | 20 | 120 |
| 118 | 18% removed | 18 | 100 |
Add: tax = price x rate / 100. Remove: base = price / (1 + rate / 100).

Value Added Tax, a percent added to many sales. The rate is the one you charge. This page does not pick it for you.
What is this VAT calculator?
Enter a price and your VAT rate. Add VAT on top, or remove VAT from a price that already includes it.
What does tax-exclusive mean?
The price does not include tax yet. You add tax on top to get what the buyer pays.
What is the formula?
Tax = exclusive x (rate/100). Total = exclusive + tax. Example: 100 at 18% → tax 18, total 118.
Which tax rate should I enter?
Use the rate that applies to that sale in your country or state. This tool does not pick the rate for you.
