Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the VAT Calculator.
How do I calculate VAT manually?
To calculate VAT manually, multiply the net amount by the VAT rate (e.g., 20% or 0.20) to find the VAT amount. For a VAT-inclusive total, multiply the net price by 1.20.
What is a reverse VAT calculation?
A reverse VAT calculation (or reverse charge) is when you extract the tax from a gross total. To do this manually, divide the gross amount by 1 plus the VAT rate (e.g., Gross ÷ 1.20) to find the net price.
What are the standard VAT rates in 2026?
In 2026, the standard VAT rate in the UK remains 20%. Germany’s standard rate is 19%, while most EU nations range between 17% and 27%. Always check for reduced rates on specific goods.
Can I use this tool for both Net and Gross amounts?
Yes. Our tool allows you to 'Add VAT' (net to gross) or 'Remove VAT' (gross to net). Simply enter your figure, select 'Inclusive' or 'Exclusive', and the calculator handles the rest.
