Calculate net price, VAT amount, and gross price.
Enter the base amount, choose the VAT rate, and select whether you want to add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price. The calculator returns the net amount, VAT amount, and total price so you can use it for invoices, receipts, and quick price checks.
This page is useful for checking consumer prices, calculating business invoices, comparing pre-tax and post-tax amounts, and reversing VAT from a total amount you already paid or received.
Faced with a €121 gross price at 21% VAT, the instinctive move is to subtract 21% of €121 — but that's wrong. VAT was added on top of the net price, not the gross price, so the percentage has to come off a different base than the one people naturally reach for. Subtracting 21% of €121 (€25.41) gives €95.59, which is too low. The correct net price is €121 ÷ 1.21 = exactly €100. This is precisely the calculation the remove-VAT mode performs, so switching to that mode instead of doing the subtraction by hand avoids the error entirely.
Use the remove-VAT mode, enter the total gross amount, and apply the correct VAT rate. The calculator will separate the VAT amount from the net amount.
Yes. The calculator supports both directions so you can start from either a net price or a gross price.
Use the rate that applies to your product, service, or country-specific rule. The calculator only performs the math, so the correct rate still depends on your situation.
Because 21% VAT was added on top of the net price, not the gross price, so subtracting 21% of the gross total overcorrects. For a €121 gross price at 21% VAT, subtracting 21% of €121 (€25.41) wrongly gives €95.59. The correct net price is €121 ÷ 1.21 = €100 exactly, which is what the remove-VAT mode calculates for you.
