Add or remove VAT at any rate.
VAT, both directions
VAT can be added to a net price or extracted from a gross one. At 20%, £100 net becomes £120 gross; to strip it back, divide the gross by 1.2, not by 0.8.
It handles both directions cleanly, which matters at tax time: extracting the VAT already included in a gross receipt is a different sum from adding VAT to a net price.
Rates differ

Frequently asked questions
How is VAT added to a price?
Gross = net × (1 + rate). 120 plus 20% VAT is 24 of VAT and 144 gross. Results are plain amounts, so they work for pounds, euros, or any currency.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Type "remove" in the mode box. The net price is gross ÷ (1 + rate), so 120 including 20% VAT is 100 net plus 20 VAT. Do not just subtract 20%, which gives 96.
Which VAT rate should I use?
The standard rate for the country and product, such as 20% in the UK or 19% in Germany. Reduced rates apply to some goods like food or books.
