VAT Calculator
The VAT Calculator adds VAT to a net amount or removes it from a gross amount. It supports the UK standard (20%), reduced (5%) and zero rates, plus Ireland's 23% rate.
Formula
add VAT: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100) remove VAT: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100) VAT amount = gross − net
Examples
- • £100 net + 20% VAT → £120 gross (VAT £20).
- • £120 gross − 20% VAT → £100 net (VAT £20).
- • £100 net + 5% VAT → £105 gross.
How to use this calculator
Choose whether to add VAT (net → gross) or remove VAT (gross → net), enter the amount and pick the VAT rate.
