About VAT Calculator

This VAT Calculator helps add VAT to a base price or split VAT from a tax-inclusive total. Different countries have different VAT regimes (rates, reduced/exempt items, thresholds). This tool focuses on clear arithmetic rather than compliance. For filing and rate rules, consult your national tax authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
