Removing VAT: Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT% / 100)
VAT Amount = Total with VAT − Total without VAT
Example
A product costs $100 before VAT. The VAT rate is 20%.
- VAT Amount = $100 × 0.20 = $20
- Total with VAT = $120
Frequently Asked Questions
- VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax placed on goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. It is charged as a percentage of the sale price.
- Price including VAT = Net Price × (1 + VAT Rate / 100). For example, $100 + 20% VAT = $100 × 1.20 = $120.
- Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT Rate / 100). For example, removing 20% VAT from $120 gives $120 / 1.20 = $100.
- VAT rates vary by country. The UK standard rate is 20%, the EU average is around 21%, and the US uses sales tax which ranges from 0–10.25% depending on the state.
