Sales tax / VAT calculator
Enter an amount and choose whether it is net (before tax) or tax-inclusive. You get the tax amount and the other figure instantly.
An estimation aid only — results are not financial, accounting or legal advice.
How is it calculated?
- If the amount is net: tax = amount × rate, and gross = amount + tax.
- If the amount is tax-inclusive: net = amount ÷ (1 + rate), and tax = amount − net.
How to use the calculator
Enter the amount and the tax rate and choose whether the price includes tax or not, and you get the pre-tax amount, the tax value and the total. Confirm the rate that applies to your activity.
Note
The calculator is for estimation only. Check the tax department's current guidance for your case, and make sure the tax settings in your POS match your invoices.
