Value added tax is charged on the net price at the rate for the country and product: 20% in the UK, 19% in Germany, 5% in the UAE. Enter the net price, quantity and rate to get the VAT and the gross total, or switch to the second mode to strip VAT out of a gross figure and see the net amount and the tax.
Businesses registered for VAT reclaim the VAT on their purchases, so the net price is what matters to them; consumers pay the gross.
Discount and Sales Tax Calculator
The discount and tax calculator handles the two-step arithmetic of a sale: apply the discount to the price, then add sales tax, VAT or GST on the discounted amount. A $120 item at 15% off is $102; with 8% sales tax the final price is $110.16 and the overall saving is 15%. Enter a quantity to price a whole order, or switch to the second mode to work backwards from a tax-inclusive receipt to the net price and the tax portion.
