VAT calc backwards

VAT Calculator. How do you calculate VAT backwards? Where can I find Reverse VAT calculator? How to back-calculate VAT? If I know the price in the store how do I calculate the price without VAT? Need a formula for excluding sales tax from the gross sum? Can I calculate VAT backward online?


THE BACKWARD-VAT CALCULATOR:




This is how you usually calculate VAT backwards manually:

25% VAT: calculate 20% of the price (1/5)
12% VAT: calculate 10,71% of the price (1/9,3371)
6% VAT: calculate 5,66% of the price (1/17,6678)

Calculate backwards VAT

Suppose the net price (without) VAT is $100. With 25% VAT, the price becomes 125. We can then either divide or multiply to reach the value or amount we are seeking.  

Bookmark this page so you can find the reverse VAT calculator again!

Backward VAT for 25%

Assume price with VAT = 125

Calculate price excluding 25% VAT: 125 x 0,8 = 100

or 125 / 1,25 = 100

VAT amount at 25% VAT-rate: 125 x 0,2 = 25 Kr

or 125 / 5 = 25 Kr




Reverse VAT value for X%

Sometimes you need to calculate the prices without the usual VAT rates in your country. You might be working in the UK but you also have an office in the Netherlands which you operate from London. Or maybe you are running the show for several territories and need a fast calculator that can find the price without VAT or sales tax or GST or whatever it is called in each particular country. Then you need a VAT calculator which can handle any given VAT rate, not just the domestic ones. If we should calculate with an arbitrary rate of VAT, then we can’t use predefined multiplication or division numbers. To be able to count with a general VAT rate “X”, we have to solve an equation. As an example, I will use the UK standard VAT rate of 20%.

Assume price incl. VAT = 120 Kr, X = 20.

Calculate price without X% VAT: 120 / (1 + (X/100)) =

120 / (1 + (20/100)) =

120 / (1 + (0,20) =

120 / (1,20) 100 Kr

VAT value at X% VAT: 120 – 100 = 20 Kr
