Formula

For a tax-exclusive price, total equals price times one plus rate divided by 100; for a tax-inclusive price, the tax part is price minus price divided by one plus rate divided by 100.

How it works

Rates vary by place and product, so enter the rate that applies to you — no rate is assumed here. The toggle lets you work in either direction.

FAQs

Where do I find my rate?
From your local tax authority or a receipt from a recent purchase.

Why do rates differ?
Different states, cities, and product categories set different rates.

Does this cover VAT?
The same maths applies to VAT, but rules and rates differ by country.

Are these figures financial advice?
No — they are estimates for planning only, not financial advice. Check with a qualified adviser for decisions involving large sums.
