Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VAT Calculator work?
Choose whether to add or remove VAT, enter the amount and select a VAT rate. The calculator then shows the VAT amount and resulting gross or net figure.
What VAT rates can I calculate?
The calculator includes 20%, 5% and 0% rates. Not every product or service qualifies for every rate.
How do I remove 20% VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
To remove 20% VAT, divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.20. The calculator performs this calculation for you.
Does every UK business need to charge VAT?
No. VAT registration depends on the business and its taxable turnover and circumstances. Registration can also be voluntary in some situations.
Is this calculator suitable for a VAT return?
No. It is a simple pricing and VAT calculation tool, not a VAT return preparation system.
