VAT Calculator
Add VAT to a net price, or work backwards from a gross price to find the net figure. Pick a country to load its standard rate, or just type the rate you need.
Formula and method
Adding VAT: VAT = net × (rate ÷ 100); gross = net + VAT.
Removing VAT: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100); VAT = gross − net.
Presets cover standard rates only. Source: European Commission - VAT rates applied in the EU Member States - last verified 2026-08-05.
Worked example
You invoice a German customer €100 net, and the standard German rate of 19% applies.
VAT = €100 × 0.19 = €19, so the gross invoice reads €119.
Reversing a €120 gross price at the 20% standard rate: €120 ÷ 1.20 = €100 net, with €20 of VAT baked in.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I add VAT to a net price?
Multiply the net price by the VAT rate and add it. €100 net at 20% VAT is €100 + €20 = €120 gross.
How do I remove VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + rate ÷ 100). €120 gross at 20% VAT works out to €120 ÷ 1.2 = €100 net, with €20 of VAT sitting inside it.
Are the country rates always correct?
The presets are standard rates only, and countries change them. Reduced, super-reduced and zero rates apply to plenty of goods and services, so confirm the rate for your specific supply. You can override it any time.
Which VAT rate applies to a cross-border sale?
It depends on what you sell, where your customer is, and whether they're VAT registered. Distance selling, OSS/IOSS and reverse charge rules can all change the answer, so don't assume your home rate applies.
Does this tool register or file VAT for me?
No, it's a calculator, nothing more. If you need registration or filing help, we can put you in touch with independent specialists - that's a referral, not something we handle ourselves.
