UK VAT Calculator
Add or remove VAT instantly at 20% standard, 5% reduced, or 0% zero rate.
How this calculator works
Choose Add VAT if you have a net (VAT-exclusive) price and want the total a customer pays. Choose Remove VAT if you have a gross (VAT-inclusive) price and want to know the underlying net amount and the VAT portion.
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to specific goods and services, and a 0% zero rate applies to items like most food and children's clothes.
Divide the VAT-inclusive total by 1.2 (for 20% VAT) or 1.05 (for 5% VAT) to get the net price.
Multiply the net price by 1.2 (for 20% VAT) or 1.05 (for 5% VAT) to get the gross price.
