VAT calculator with rates by country
An online tool for working out VAT: it removes the tax from a gross amount, adds it to a net price and finds the net amount from a tax figure — at UK, EU, GST and Gulf rates. It writes the invoice line and the amount in words, checks line-by-line VAT against the invoice total and shows each country’s small-business threshold.
How to calculate VAT
A gross amount to remove VAT, a net amount to add it, or the VAT figure to find the net. Expressions such as 12,500 + 3,400 work too.
The standard rate is selected for you; reduced rates and a custom rate are one tap away.
The invoice line, the amount in words or the whole calculation — with one button; the link keeps the calculation.
Add VAT to a net price or work out the VAT inside a gross amount

Ready-made lines for invoices and contracts
Lines are in the language of the selected country and use its number format: they go into the document as they are.
Invoice with several lines — VAT per line
Paste rows from Excel or Google Sheets right into the table (Ctrl+V in any cell) or type them in. If a line amount is left empty, it is quantity × price.

Reprice a price list for a new rate
Paste a column of prices or a whole price list — the new price appears next to each row. A gross price is multiplied by (100 + new rate) / (100 + old rate).
