Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate VAT on an amount?
To calculate VAT, multiply the net amount by the VAT percentage. For 21% VAT: net amount x 1.21 = gross amount. For 9% VAT: net amount x 1.09 = gross amount. Our calculator does this automatically for you.
How do I calculate VAT back from a gross amount?
To reverse calculate VAT, divide the gross amount by 1 plus the VAT percentage as a decimal. For 21% VAT: gross amount / 1.21 = net amount. The VAT is then the difference between gross and net.
