Frequently Asked Questions — VAT & Sales Tax Calculator
What is the UK VAT rate?+
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to some goods (e.g. home energy, children's car seats). A zero rate (0%) applies to food, children's clothing, and books.
How do I calculate 20% VAT on a price?+
To add 20% VAT: multiply the net price by 1.20. Example: £100 × 1.20 = £120. To remove 20% VAT from an inclusive price: divide by 1.20. Example: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100.
What is the difference between inclusive and exclusive VAT?+
Exclusive (tax-exclusive) price is the price before tax — add the VAT on top. Inclusive (tax-inclusive) price already includes VAT — the tax is embedded. This calculator handles both: use "Add tax" for exclusive, "Remove tax" for inclusive.
