UK VAT calculator example
£100 net at 20% standard rate
Exclusive: VAT is £20.00 and the gross is £120.00. Inclusive on a £120 till total: net £100.00 and VAT £20.00.
UK VAT calculator how-to
- Choose exclusive (you have the net) or inclusive (you have the shelf price).
- Pick 20%, 5%, or 0%, or enter a custom rate.
- Read net, VAT, and gross.
- Confirm the supply is standard, reduced, zero-rated, or exempt on GOV.UK before you invoice.
Why UK VAT calculator matters
UK consumer prices are usually VAT-inclusive; B2B invoices are usually exclusive with a VAT line. Mixing the two is how a £100 quote becomes a £120 surprise.
This is not Indian GST. There is no CGST/SGST split.
UK VAT split
Exclusive: VAT = net × rate/100. Inclusive: net = gross / (1 + rate/100); VAT = gross − net. Amounts rounded to pence.
UK VAT calculator limitations
Not the Flat Rate Scheme, import VAT, or exempt supplies. Not advice.

UK VAT calculator FAQ
- What are the UK VAT rates?
- The standard rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to some supplies (for example certain energy and children’s car seats. Check GOV.UK). Zero-rated supplies are 0% VAT but are still in the VAT system. Exempt is different from zero-rated and is not modelled here.
- What is the difference between VAT exclusive and inclusive?
- Exclusive starts from the net amount and adds VAT: VAT = net × rate/100. Inclusive starts from the gross (shelf or till price) and extracts VAT: net = gross / (1 + rate/100). Invoices usually show exclusive lines; consumer prices are often inclusive.
- Is this the same as Indian GST?
- The inclusive/exclusive arithmetic is the same idea, but UK VAT does not split into CGST/SGST/IGST. Use the GST calculator for Indian invoices and this page for UK VAT.
- Are my figures uploaded?
- No. The split is computed in this tab. Nothing is sent to HMRC or to us.
- How do I add or extract UK VAT without this page?
- Exclusive: vat = round(net * rate/100, 2); gross = net + vat. Inclusive: net = round(gross / (1 + rate/100), 2); vat = gross − net. Standard rate 20, reduced 5, zero 0. Confirm the supply on GOV.UK before you invoice.
- Does this handle the Flat Rate Scheme or VAT on imports?
- No. Those have different rules. This page only adds or extracts a single percentage from one amount.
