How to add and deduct VAT?

The calculator uses simple formulas that you can also check yourself. Choose the required type of calculation — add VAT, deduct it from the final amount or calculate the VAT amount separately.

Add VAT

Amount with VAT = amount without VAT × (1 + rate)

Example: 100 × 1.21 = 121 EUR.
The VAT amount is 21 EUR.

Deduct VAT

Amount without VAT = amount with VAT ÷ (1 + rate)

Example: 121 ÷ 1.21 = 100 EUR.
VAT part: 121 − 100 = 21 EUR.

Calculate the VAT amount

Amount without VAT × rate

Example: 100 × 0.21 = 21 EUR.
From the amount with VAT: amount × rate ÷ (1 + rate).
