What is VAT and how is it calculated?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax applied to the consumption of goods and services. Rates vary by country and product category. This calculator converts prices between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive amounts instantly.

VAT formulas

  • Price with VAT: Net price × (1 + rate/100)
  • Price without VAT: VAT-inclusive price ÷ (1 + rate/100)
  • VAT amount: Net price × (rate/100)

Practical example

An invoice shows £242 including 21% VAT. What is the net price?

  1. Net price: 242 ÷ 1.21 = £200
  2. VAT amount: 242 − 200 = £42

Common VAT rates by country

  • UK: 20% standard, 5% reduced, 0% zero-rated
  • EU average: 21% standard (varies by country)
  • Mexico: 16% IVA
  • Canada: 5% federal GST + provincial tax
