About this calculator
Convert between net and gross prices using UK VAT. Choose whether your input is net or gross and apply the VAT rate to calculate the other value. This is useful for quick invoicing checks, pricing, and sanity‑checking receipts.
How the calculation works
For net → gross we multiply by (1 + VAT rate). For gross → net we divide by (1 + VAT rate). VAT amount is the difference between gross and net.
FAQ
What is the standard VAT rate?
The standard rate is set by HMRC and can change; select the rate that applies.
Is VAT always charged?
No. Some goods/services are zero‑rated or exempt.
Can I reclaim VAT?
Only if you’re VAT‑registered and the purchase is eligible.
Does this handle VAT flat rate scheme?
No—flat rate uses different rules for VAT you pay/keep.
This calculator converts between VAT-exclusive and VAT-inclusive prices using a configurable VAT rate (default standard rate). It’s designed for quick pricing and invoice checks.
Net → Gross adds VAT at the selected rate.
Gross → Net removes VAT at the selected rate.
VAT amount is shown explicitly for reconciliation.

Use this for pricing checks; it’s not a VAT return generator.
Is this calculator “exact”? It’s deterministic using stated assumptions, but it won’t cover every edge case (e.g., special reliefs). Use it for planning and compare with official guidance for edge cases.
Why do results change sharply at thresholds? Most UK taxes/charges are banded. Crossing a band can change the marginal rate applied to the next slice, which can look like a step-change in totals.
