How it works
Enter an amount, pick a preset VAT rate (25%, 12%, 6%) or choose Custom and type your own. Toggle Add VAT to start from a net price, or Remove VAT to break down a gross price that already includes tax.
Add VAT: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100). Remove VAT: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). VAT amount = gross − net.
1,000 with 25% VAT added → 250 VAT, 1,250 gross. 1,250 with 25% VAT removed → 1,000 net, 250 VAT.
Pricing products, preparing invoices, checking receipts, or splitting a gross price into the net amount and the tax inside it.

FAQ
What is the difference between adding and removing VAT?+
Add VAT starts from a net price and adds the tax on top. Remove VAT starts from a gross price that already includes VAT and works out the net amount and the tax inside it.
Which preset rates are included?+
25%, 12% and 6% match the standard, food and reduced rates used in Sweden. Pick Custom for any other country or rate.
How is VAT calculated when I add it?+
VAT = net × rate / 100. Gross = net + VAT. So 1,000 with 25% VAT becomes 250 VAT and 1,250 gross.
How is VAT calculated when I remove it?+
Net = gross / (1 + rate / 100). VAT = gross − net. So 1,250 with 25% VAT removed gives 1,000 net and 250 VAT.
Can I use this calculator for invoices in other countries?+
Yes. The math is the same everywhere. Pick Custom and enter your local rate, for example 20% in the UK or 19% in Germany.
