How to Calculate VAT?

Adding VAT

Gross Amount = Price × [1 + (VAT Rate ÷ 100)]
Example: Add 20% VAT to $150

Gross Amount = $150 × [1 + (20 ÷ 100)]

Gross Amount = $150 × 1.2 = $180

VAT = $180 - $150 = $30

Subtracting VAT

Net Amount = Price / [1 + (VAT Rate ÷ 100)]
Example: Subtract 20% VAT from $150

Net Amount = $180 / [1 + (20 ÷ 100)]

Net Amount = $150 / 1.2 = $125

VAT = $150 - $125 = $25
