ΕλληνικάVAT calculator
Add VAT to a net price or take it out of a gross price in one step. The UK rates are ready to use, and you can type any other rate for invoices from other countries.
1,000.00 + 20% VAT (200.00) = 1,200.00
How to use
Pick whether you want to add VAT or remove it, enter the price and choose a rate. The result updates as you type.
- Add VAT: enter a net price, for example from a quote or a supplier price list. You see the VAT amount and the final price the customer pays. Example: 250 + 20% VAT = 300.
- Remove VAT: enter a price that already includes VAT, for example from a receipt. You see the net price and how much of it is VAT. Example: 300 including 20% VAT is 250 net and 50 VAT.
- Rate: tap one of the UK rates or type your own, for example 21 for Spain or 24 for Greece.
The copy button puts all three amounts on your clipboard, ready for an invoice or a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
How do you add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net price by 1 plus the rate. With 20% VAT that is net × 1.2, so 250 becomes 300. The VAT part is net × 0.2, which is 50.
How do you work out the VAT included in a price?
Divide the gross price by 1 plus the rate. With 20% VAT that is gross ÷ 1.2, so 300 gives 250 net and 50 VAT. A quick shortcut for 20% is to divide the gross price by 6 to get the VAT.
Why is taking 20% off the gross price wrong?
Because the VAT was calculated on the net price, not on the gross price. 300 minus 20% is 240, but the real net price is 250. Always divide by 1.2 instead of subtracting 20%.
What are the current VAT rates in the UK?
The standard rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to things like domestic fuel and children's car seats, and many items such as most food, books and children's clothing are zero-rated. Check GOV.UK for the rate that applies to a specific product.
Can I use this for other countries?
Yes. Type the local rate into the rate field. For example 19% in Germany, 21% in Spain, 22% in Italy or 24% in Greece. The calculation works the same way everywhere.
