Add or remove VAT from any price instantly, at the standard, reduced, or zero rate. Nothing you enter is ever stored.
VAT (Value Added Tax) is added to most goods and services sold in the UK. The standard rate is 20%, though some goods and services qualify for the reduced rate (5%) or zero rate (0%) — for example, most food, children's clothing, and books are zero-rated.
Adding VAT takes a net price and works out what to charge including VAT: net × (1 + rate) = gross.
Removing VAT does the reverse — useful when you have a VAT-inclusive price and need to know the underlying net amount: gross ÷ (1 + rate) = net.
This calculator is provided for convenience and general guidance — for anything you're filing with HMRC, it's worth double-checking against official guidance or an accountant.
