## About

Two everyday VAT questions: how much do I charge when I add VAT, and what is the pre-VAT amount when it is already included? This calculator answers both.

Enter an amount and a rate — or pick a common rate for the UK, EU, Australia, and others — then choose whether to add VAT to a net price or remove it from a gross price. The net, VAT, and gross totals update instantly.

## How to use

1. **Enter the amount** — The figure you want to add VAT to, or strip VAT from.
2. **Pick a rate** — Choose a common standard rate (UK 20%, Germany 19%, Australia 10%…) or enter a custom percentage.
3. **Choose add or remove** — "Add VAT" treats the amount as net; "Remove VAT" treats it as gross with VAT included.

## Examples

### Adding 20% VAT in the UK

A net price of £100.

Input:

```
Amount: 100 · Rate: 20% · Add VAT
```

Output:

```
VAT £20, gross total £120.
```

## FAQ

### What is the difference between net and gross?

Net is the price before tax; gross is the price including tax. VAT calculators work in both directions depending on which figure you start from.

### How do I remove VAT from a gross price?

Divide the gross amount by (1 + rate/100). For example £120 at 20% → £120 ÷ 1.2 = £100 net, with £20 VAT.

### Is GST the same as VAT?

Yes — GST (Australia, India, Canada) and VAT (UK, EU) are both value-added taxes calculated the same way. Pick a matching preset or enter your rate.
