FAQ
What does a VAT removal calculator do?
It removes VAT from a VAT-inclusive price and shows both the price without VAT and the amount of VAT stripped out of the total.
How is VAT removed from a price?
Divide the gross amount by 1 + (rate / 100) to get the net price. Subtract the net from the gross to get the VAT amount. For example, £120 at 20% VAT: net = £100, VAT = £20.
When would I need to remove VAT from a price?
You need to remove VAT when a supplier quotes a VAT-inclusive price and you need to record only the net value in your accounts, when checking an invoice, or when comparing prices across different VAT jurisdictions.
What VAT rates does this calculator support?
Preset buttons cover UK rates (20%, 5%, 0%) and Italian rates (22%, 10%, 4%). You can also type any custom VAT percentage for other countries or non-standard rates.
Is VAT removal the same as reverse VAT calculation?
Yes, mathematically they are identical. Both operations recover the net price from a VAT-inclusive amount. The terminology differs but the formula — gross ÷ (1 + rate) — is the same.
