**VAT Calculator — Add or Remove Value Added Tax Instantly**
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied on goods and services in over 160 countries. Unlike GST (used in India and Australia), VAT is applied at each stage of the supply chain, with businesses claiming back the VAT they pay on inputs. Our VAT Calculator makes it easy to add or remove VAT from any price.
**Standard VAT Rates by Country**
- **UK** — 20% standard, 5% reduced, 0% zero-rated
- **EU Average** — 21% (ranges from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary)
- **Germany** — 19% standard, 7% reduced
- **France** — 20% standard, 5.5% and 10% reduced

**Adding VAT to a Net Price**
When you have the net (ex-VAT) price:
VAT Amount = Net Price × (VAT Rate / 100)
Gross Price = Net Price + VAT Amount
**Removing VAT from a Gross Price**
When you have the gross (VAT-inclusive) price:
Net Price = Gross Price / (1 + VAT Rate / 100)
VAT Amount = Gross Price – Net Price
