VAT calculator

Add VAT to a price, or take it out of a price that already includes it.

About this calculator

Enter an amount and the VAT rate, and say whether the amount already includes VAT. The calculator shows the price without VAT, the VAT itself and the price with VAT.

The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, and the reduced rate is 5%. Some things, such as most food and children's clothes, are zero rated.
