How to use this VAT calculator in daily work
VAT mistakes often start in pricing conversations, not in accounting software. This calculator helps you model net and gross values before listing products, launching discounts, or sending quotes.
Use Add VAT mode when you begin with a net price and need a customer-facing total. Use Remove VAT mode when a value already includes VAT and you need to know the net revenue portion.
Formula and interpretation
Add mode: VAT Amount = Base Amount x VAT Rate. Total = Base Amount + VAT Amount. Remove mode: Base Amount = VAT-inclusive Total / (1 + VAT Rate). VAT Amount = Total - Base Amount.
These formulas help teams avoid margin confusion and ensure reporting values align with tax treatment.
Practical examples
Example 1: Net price is 120 at 15 percent VAT. VAT amount is 18 and total is 138. Example 2: VAT-inclusive amount is 230 at 20 percent VAT. Net is 191.67 and VAT is 38.33.
Use quick scenario checks before promotions. If discounts are applied to gross prices, net margin may fall faster than expected.
