VAT formulas
Add VAT to a net price
To add VAT to a net price, multiply the net price by the VAT rate and add the VAT amount to the original net price.
Formula:
Gross Price = Net Price + (Net Price × VAT Rate / 100)
Example:
100 + 21% VAT = 121
Remove VAT from a gross price
To remove VAT from a price that already includes VAT, divide the gross price by 1 plus the VAT rate.
Formula:
Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT Rate / 100)
Example:
121 with 21% VAT included = 100 net price
Calculate VAT amount
To calculate the VAT amount from a net price, multiply the net price by the VAT rate.
Formula:
VAT Amount = Net Price × VAT Rate / 100
Example:
21% VAT on 100 = 21
Find VAT rate
To find the VAT rate from a net price and a gross price, subtract the net price from the gross price, divide by the net price and multiply by 100.
Formula:
VAT Rate = ((Gross Price - Net Price) / Net Price) × 100
Example:
From 100 net to 121 gross = 21% VAT
Net price vs gross price
The net price is the price before VAT or tax is added.
The gross price is the final price after VAT or tax has been added.
For example, if the net price is 100 and the VAT rate is 21%, the VAT amount is 21 and the gross price is 121.
