How to use it
- Enter the net price in your currency.
- Select or type the VAT rate as a percentage.
- View the calculated VAT amount and gross price instantly.
What the VAT Calculator does
It takes the net amount you charge for a product or service and applies the VAT rate you enter to show two key figures: the VAT amount you owe and the total gross price the customer pays. Knowing the exact VAT amount helps you stay compliant with tax authorities, avoid under‑or over‑charging, and plan cash flow. The gross price is simply the net price plus the VAT, so you can quote a single figure to clients without doing mental math. Results appear instantly, so you can experiment with different rates or prices in real time. No registration, no ads – just a clean, reliable tool for freelancers, small businesses, and accountants. You can also copy the results to your invoice template or spreadsheet with a single click.
Pro tips
- Round the VAT amount to the smallest currency unit used in your country to avoid fractional cents.
- If you invoice in a different currency, convert the net price first, then apply the VAT rate.
- Double‑check the VAT rate for each product category; some goods have reduced or zero rates.
- Use the calculator to compare net vs gross pricing before setting your final price.

- A freelance designer needs to add 20% VAT to a €500 project invoice.
- A small retailer wants to display the total price including 15% VAT for customers.
- An accountant quickly verifies the VAT owed on a batch of purchases.
