VAT, or Value Added Tax, is a consumption tax applied to goods and services in many countries. Businesses generally collect VAT from customers and account for it according to the applicable tax rules in their jurisdiction.

A VAT calculator uses the amount you enter and the VAT rate you specify to calculate the VAT amount and the resulting total. Depending on the calculation mode, it can also determine the price before VAT when the entered amount already includes VAT.

A VAT-exclusive price is the price before VAT has been added. VAT is calculated on the net price and then added to determine the total amount payable.

A VAT-inclusive price already includes VAT. To find the VAT portion of an inclusive price, the VAT rate must be separated from the total rather than simply calculated as a percentage of the total.

For a VAT-exclusive price, multiply the net price by the VAT rate to calculate the VAT amount, then add the VAT to the net price to get the VAT-inclusive total.
