Formula
VAT is a percent of the net price:
VAT = price before VAT × rate
If the price you have already includes VAT, use the tax-inclusive page.
Assumptions
- One VAT rate applies to the whole price.
- The price you type is before VAT.
Worked example
A $100 price at 20% VAT is $20.00 of VAT.
Input definitions
- Price before VAT
- The net amount the rate is applied to.
Limitations
This is an estimate, not a loan offer, tax filing, or investment advice. The currency control changes the symbol only.
Questions
