How it works

Use this tool with clear assumptions

The same calculation pattern works for many sales tax systems, including VAT, GST, and similar consumption taxes.

Use custom rates for your country, region, product category, or business situation.

Formula / logic

Add tax: total = amount * (1 + rate). Remove tax: pre-tax amount = total / (1 + rate).

Example

At 18% tax, a $100 pre-tax price becomes $118. A $118 tax-inclusive total contains $18 tax.
