VAT Calculator UK
Add VAT to a net price or strip it from a gross figure. Covers all UK rates: 20%, 5% and 0%.
How it works
Adding VAT: multiply the net price by (1 + VAT rate). Removing VAT: divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate). The difference between the two figures is the VAT amount. The UK standard rate has been 20% since 2011.
