Reverse VAT Calculator

Reverse VAT means calculating backwards from a VAT-inclusive (gross) price to find the original pre-tax (net) amount and the VAT portion. For example, if a receipt shows 120 including 20% VAT, the net is 100 and the VAT is 20.

Yes. The math is the standard exclusive-rate model used worldwide. Enter your country VAT rate: UK (20%), Germany (19%), France (20%), Netherlands (21%), Sweden (25%), India GST (18%), Australia GST (10%), or any other rate.

If tax is applied as a simple percentage on top of the net price, the same formulas work. However, US sales tax is typically added at checkout and shown separately, so "reverse" calculation is less common than in VAT countries where tax is included in the sticker price.

With a 0% rate, net and gross are identical and VAT is zero. The calculator handles this correctly. Zero-rated goods (like some food items in the UK) have no VAT but are still technically within the VAT system.

Calculate each line item separately using its applicable rate (standard, reduced, or zero), then sum the results. This calculator handles one amount and one rate at a time.
