What Is a VAT Calculator and Why You Need One
Understanding VAT (Value-Added Tax) is essential for freelancers, small business owners, and anyone dealing with pricing or accounting. Our free online VAT calculator helps you calculate VAT quickly and accurately, without any registration or complicated forms. Whether you’re adding VAT to a net price or removing VAT from a gross total, this tool does the work in seconds.
The VAT calculator is especially useful for:
- Freelancers and consultants who invoice clients and need to clearly show VAT amounts.

How It Works
Simply enter the base price and the VAT rate (e.g. 20%), and the calculator will show you:
- The VAT amount
- The total price including VAT
- Or, if you enter a gross amount, it can work backward to show you the net amount and VAT extracted
This flexibility makes it perfect for both adding and removing VAT. The tool works in real-time and is completely free to use.
