Sales tax goes by many names โ€” GST in India and Australia, VAT in the UK and Europe, sales tax in the US โ€” but the maths is the same. Pick your tax system for the right rate presets, or choose a custom rate for anywhere in the world. You can add tax to a base price or remove it from a tax-inclusive price, and for India it splits GST into CGST and SGST automatically.

๐Ÿ”Add or remove โ€” both directions

  • Add tax โ€” you know the price before tax and want the final amount a customer pays.
  • Remove tax (reverse GST/VAT) โ€” you have a tax-inclusive price and need the base value and tax portion, e.g. for accounting.
  • India split โ€” intra-state sales show CGST + SGST (half each); tick 'inter-state' to show IGST instead.

๐ŸงฎThe formulas

Add: Tax = Price ร— Rate รท 100ย ย โ†’ย ย Total = Price + Tax
Remove: Base = Total รท (1 + Rate รท 100)

When adding tax, the tax is a simple percentage of the base price. When removing it, you divide the inclusive price by 1 plus the rate to recover the original base โ€” the difference is the tax that was already included.

A โ‚น1,000 item at 18% GST adds โ‚น180 tax for a โ‚น1,180 total. Working backwards, a โ‚น1,180 inclusive price divided by 1.18 gives a โ‚น1,000 base and โ‚น180 GST (โ‚น90 CGST + โ‚น90 SGST).

๐Ÿ’กGood to know

  • GST/VAT rates vary by product and country โ€” always confirm the correct slab for your item.
  • For India, CGST and SGST each take half the GST on sales within a state; IGST applies across states.
  • US sales-tax rates differ by state and city; enter your local combined rate as a custom value.

๐Ÿ’ก Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add GST or VAT to a price?+

Tax = Price ร— Rate รท 100, and the total becomes Price + Tax. For example, โ‚น1,000 at 18% GST = โ‚น1,180 total.

How do I remove GST or VAT from an inclusive price?+

Base price = Inclusive price รท (1 + Rate/100). For example, โ‚น1,180 inclusive of 18% GST has a base price of โ‚น1,000 and โ‚น180 tax.

What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?+

For sales within a state, GST is split equally into CGST (central) and SGST (state). For sales between states, a single IGST is charged instead, equal to the full GST rate.

Can I use this for VAT or US sales tax?+

Yes. Choose UK VAT, EU VAT, Australia GST, Canada GST/HST, US Sales Tax, or a custom rate โ€” the calculation works for any percentage-based tax anywhere.
