How it’s calculated
- Net → VAT:
VAT = net × rate. - Net → Gross:
gross = net + VAT. - Gross → Net:
net ≈ gross ÷ (1 + rate)(with rounding),VAT = gross − net.
Rounding (nearest / up / down) is applied to VAT when starting from net, or to net when starting from gross. It rounds to the smallest unit of the selected currency (e.g., $0.01).

FAQ
What should I enter first?
Start with the amount you already have from the receipt, quote, or invoice draft. Then choose whether that number is net or gross before you set the rate.
When is this page faster than VAT / Sales Tax?
Stay here when you just need one quick conversion with one known rate. Switch to the broader VAT / Sales Tax page when you want a reusable sheet for repeated checks and scenario changes.
What usually causes differences between tax tools?
The usual causes are rate choice, input direction, and rounding. Align those three first before comparing the final numbers.
Can I use this for official tax filing?
No. This page is for planning and quick checks. Use official guidance or qualified review for filing, compliance, and jurisdiction-specific rules.
