What Is GST / VAT Calculator?

A free online GST and VAT calculator supporting tax rates for Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, UK, Germany, France, and 20+ other countries. Add tax to an amount or remove tax from a total. Custom rate option available for any tax percentage.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT) are consumption taxes applied to most goods and services in many countries around the world. The rate varies by country — Australia has 10% GST, the UK has 20% VAT, Singapore has 9% GST, and India has a multi-slab GST system. GST/VAT Calculator handles adding tax to or removing tax from any amount with 20+ country presets.

Choose Add mode when you have an amount before tax and need to calculate the total including tax. For example, a AU$100 product plus 10% GST = AU$110 total with AU$10 GST. Choose Remove mode when you have a tax-inclusive total and need to find the original amount before tax. For example, a £120 VAT-inclusive price at 20% VAT = £100 original + £20 VAT.

Select a country from the preset list, which automatically applies the correct tax rate and label (GST, VAT, or other local name). The country selector covers Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, UK, Germany, France, and 20+ more. For countries or scenarios not covered, the custom rate option allows any percentage from 0.1% to 50%.

The result display shows three values clearly: the original amount (before tax), the tax amount, and the total (after tax). The tax label matches the country — it says "GST" for Australia and India, "VAT" for UK and Europe. The display makes it easy to report tax amounts separately for accounting and invoicing purposes.

Real-World Use Cases for GST / VAT Calculator

Calculating GST-Exclusive Price from a Receipt Total

An Australian business owner has a receipt for AU$550 including 10% GST. Select Australia, choose Remove mode, enter 550. The calculator shows: original AU$500, GST AU$50, total AU$550. This is useful for BAS (Business Activity Statement) reporting where GST-exclusive amounts are required.

Adding VAT to a Product Price for UK Sales

A UK seller has a product priced at £85 before VAT. Select United Kingdom, choose Add mode, enter 85. The result shows: original £85, VAT (£17), total £102. Use the £102 as the final selling price to customers. The VAT breakdown helps with VAT return filing.

Using Custom Rate for a Special Tax Scenario

A consultant works in a country not in the preset list with a 15% digital services tax. Select Custom rate, enter 15%. Enter the pre-tax amount of $2,000. The calculator shows $2,000 + $300 tax = $2,300 total. The custom option handles any scenario not covered by country presets.

Pro Tips for GST / VAT Calculator

  • 1Add mode is for amounts before tax (exclusive). Remove mode is for amounts including tax (inclusive). Mixing them up gives incorrect results.
  • 2The Remove calculation uses: Original = Total / (1 + rate). For 10% GST: Original = 550 / 1.10 = 500. The Add calculation uses: Total = Original x (1 + rate).
  • 3Different countries use different names for similar taxes: GST (Australia, India, Singapore, NZ), VAT (UK, Europe), HST (some Canadian provinces). The calculator uses the correct local label.
  • 4For India's GST, note that different products have different rates (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%). The calculator uses a flat 18% for India. Adjust with the custom rate for specific products.
