What is a VAT Calculator?
A Value Added Tax (VAT) calculator is an essential tool for business owners, freelancers, and consumers to quickly determine the tax amount on a product or service. VAT is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale.

- Net Amount: Enter the price of the item before tax to find out how much VAT will be added.
- Gross Amount: Alternatively, enter the total price including tax to “reverse calculate” and find the original net price.
- VAT Rate: Select the applicable percentage (e.g., the standard 20% rate in the UK).
