VAT & sales-tax calculator

Add or remove VAT and sales tax for any amount. Pick a country or US state, choose the rate, and see the net, tax, and gross.

What do you want to do?

Add tax vs. remove tax

Use Add tax when your figure is a net, pre-tax price and you want the tax and gross total. Use Remove tax when your figure already includes tax and you need the net base — for example to reclaim input VAT or to quote an ex-VAT price. Removing tax divides by (1 + rate); it is not the same as multiplying by the rate.

How the rates are sourced

Each jurisdiction is a small versioned rate table tagged "Rates as of 2026-06" with a link to the official tax authority. EU and UK figures are the standard, reduced, and zero VAT rates. US figures are statewide sales-tax base rates — local taxes vary, so treat them as a floor and verify the combined rate for the exact address.

FAQ

How do I remove VAT from a price that already includes it?

Choose 'Remove tax', pick the rate, and enter the gross amount. The net base is the gross divided by 1 plus the rate. For example, €119 at 19% gives a €100 net and €19 of VAT.

Why is the result different from price multiplied by the rate?

Multiplying a gross price by the rate over-counts the tax. To remove VAT you divide by (1 + rate), not multiply. The calculator handles both directions correctly.

Are the US sales-tax rates the final rate I pay?

No. The state rate shown is the base. US sales tax is destination-based, so county, city, and special-district taxes are usually added on top. Check the exact combined rate for the delivery address.

Which rate should I pick — standard, reduced, or zero?

Most goods and services use the standard rate. Reduced and zero rates apply only to specific categories (for example food, books, or children's clothing in some countries). Confirm the category with the official source linked on each page.
