Frequently asked questions

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the gross price by (1 + rate). For 20% VAT: gross ÷ 1.20 gives the net; the difference is the VAT. Note: you do NOT subtract 20% of the gross — that over-removes.

What are the common VAT rates?

The UK standard rate is 20% with a 5% reduced rate. EU standard rates range roughly from 17% to 27% by country. Use the custom field for any other rate.

Is this the same as sales tax?

VAT is included in displayed prices and charged at each stage of the supply chain; US-style sales tax is added at the register. For US sales tax, use our Sales Tax Calculator.
