Add or Remove VAT

Add or Remove VAT in One Step

Enter a price, pick a rate, and see the net, the VAT amount, and the gross total side by side. Switch direction to work either way: add VAT to a tax-exclusive price, or back it out of a tax-inclusive one. Presets cover the common UK and EU standard and reduced rates — 20%, 19%, 21%, 23%, 25%, 27%, plus 5% and 9% — and the rate field accepts any number you type.

The three figures always reconcile: net plus VAT equals the gross to the penny, with rounding handled the way an invoice expects. No spreadsheet formula to remember, and no reverse-VAT arithmetic to get wrong.

Common Uses

• Quoting a client: Turn a net day rate or product price into the gross figure the customer actually pays.
• Reading a receipt: Pull the net and the VAT out of a VAT-inclusive total for your bookkeeping.
• Cross-border pricing: Re-price the same item for Germany (19%), Ireland (23%), or Sweden (25%) by swapping the preset.
• Reduced-rate items: Apply a 5% or 9% reduced rate to hospitality, energy, or qualifying goods.
• Expense claims: Separate the recoverable VAT from a gross expense before you submit it.
• Shelf and menu pricing: Set a clean gross price and see the net sitting underneath it.

An honest caveat: this is a calculation aid, not tax advice. Which rate applies, what is exempt, and how the reverse charge works all vary by country and by what you sell — confirm the rate and treatment with your accountant or your national tax authority.
