Example result
Four arithmetic operations, four examples
This is what the results look like, using the German rates of 19% and 7% as an example. Select your country and enter your amounts above.
Example
What is the gross price of €100.00 net with 19% VAT?
€119.00
€100.00 net plus 19% VAT (€19.00) equals €119.00 gross.
Example
What is the net amount of €119.00 gross, excluding 19% VAT?
€100.00
€119.00 gross includes 19% VAT (€19.00), so the net amount is €100.00.
Example
What tax rate turns €100.00 net into €107.00 gross?
7%
From €100.00 net to €107.00 gross, the tax rate is 7% and VAT is €7.00.
Example
What are the net amount, VAT, and gross amount of an invoice with multiple tax rates?
€172.50
The invoice shows €150.00 net, €22.50 VAT, and €172.50 gross.

How it works
How the VAT calculator works
Three steps from amount to result.
Step 1
Select country and calculation method
Select your country and choose what you want to do at the top: add VAT, remove VAT, calculate the tax rate, or analyze an entire invoice. The country’s standard rate is already entered.
Step 2
Enter amount and tax rate
Enter the amount and, if needed, select a reduced rate or enter your own rate between 0 and 100%. For an invoice, enter up to ten line items and specify whether the amounts are net or gross. Both commas and periods work, and thousands separators such as 1,250.50 are recognised.
Step 3
Read result and calculation
See net, VAT and gross amounts with the calculation steps, plus totals by tax rate for an invoice. Then copy the result or a link with your numbers.
Calculate VAT
VAT explained simply
There are three values: the net amount (before tax), the tax rate and the gross amount (including tax). If you know two, you can calculate the third. This calculator calculates VAT, not your take-home pay.
Add VAT
Gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100)
Example: €100.00 × 1.19 = €119.00
Remove VAT
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
Example: €119.00 ÷ 1.19 = €100.00
Calculate tax rate
Rate = (Gross − Net) ÷ Net × 100
Example: (€107.00 − €100.00) ÷ €100.00 × 100 = 7%
Don't simply subtract 19%
VAT is a percentage of the net amount, not the gross amount. €119.00 minus 19% gives €96.39, but the correct result is €100.00, because you divide by 1.19.
Standard and reduced rates
The standard rate applies to most goods and services; a reduced rate applies only to certain items, such as food or books. Your country's tax authority determines which rate applies. The calculator uses the rate you enter.
VAT, sales tax, and value-added tax
In Germany, Mehrwertsteuer (MwSt) and Umsatzsteuer (USt) refer to the same tax, called VAT in English. When checking an invoice, the VAT you pay to suppliers is your input VAT. The USA does not charge VAT; states and local authorities charge sales tax instead. Those rates are not included in the calculator.
Tax rates
VAT rates in Europe
Standard and reduced rates for the 30 countries in the calculator, as of October 2026. Reduced rates apply only to certain goods and services; check with your country’s tax authority if you’re unsure. You can enter any other rate between 0 and 100% above.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about VAT and this calculator.
Multiply the net amount by 1 plus the tax rate divided by 100: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100). At 19 %, that’s €100 × 1.19 = €119, with €19 in VAT. At 7 %, multiply by 1.07. In the calculator, select “Add VAT”.
Divide the gross amount by 1 plus the tax rate divided by 100: Net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). At 19%, €119 gross becomes 119 ÷ 1.19 = €100 net, with €19 VAT included. Use the “Extract VAT” calculation for this.
VAT is a percentage of the net amount, not the gross amount. 19% of €119 is €22.61, which would give you €96.39 instead of the correct €100. Divide by 1.19 instead.
Subtract the net amount from the gross amount and divide by the net amount: Rate = (gross − net) ÷ net × 100. €100 net and €107 gross gives 7%. The calculator also shows whether this is your country's standard or a reduced rate.
Germany has a standard rate of 19 % and a reduced rate of 7 %. Austria has rates of 20 %, 13 % and 10 %; Switzerland has rates of 8.1 %, 3.8 % and 2.6 %. The table above lists all country rates available in the calculator. You can enter any other rate between 0 and 100 % yourself. The tax authority determines which rate applies to a particular product.
In Germany, Mehrwertsteuer (MwSt) and Umsatzsteuer (USt) refer to the same tax. In English, it's called VAT (value added tax); in France, TVA; and in Italy and Spain, IVA. The tax you pay suppliers as a business is your input VAT.
Group line items with the same rate and calculate VAT on each group’s total, as it appears on the invoice. Use “Invoice” mode in the calculator: enter up to ten line items with an amount and rate, specify whether the amounts are net or gross, and see the net, VAT and gross amounts for each rate and the overall total.
The calculator rounds amounts to cents, as they appear on an invoice. Calculating VAT per item instead of per tax rate can produce different cent amounts. For an invoice with multiple items, the total per rate is what matters.
Yes. The calculator accepts both 19,99 and 19.99 and recognizes thousands separators such as 1.250,50. You can choose from ten currencies. The default follows your country, except for Hungary, where it is set to euros because the forint is not included. Amount formatting follows your language.
No. Calculations run entirely in your browser; the calculator sends no amounts to a server. Whenever you change something, the calculation type, country and numbers appear in the address bar so you can share them using “Share link”.
