Net to gross
Multiply the net amount by the rate to get the VAT, then add the two.
VAT = net × rate · Gross = net + VAT
Example: 100.00 net at 19% → VAT 100 × 0.19 = 19.00 → gross 119.00.

About this calculator
Enter a net or gross amount and choose a VAT rate. The calculator shows the net amount, the VAT amount and the gross amount together, so the result is easy to check.

Formulas and examples
Gross to net
The gross amount already contains the VAT, so divide it by 1 plus the rate.
Net = gross ÷ (1 + rate) · VAT = gross − net
Example: 119.00 gross at 19% → net 119 ÷ 1.19 = 100.00 → VAT 119.00 − 100.00 = 19.00.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between net and gross?
Net is the amount before VAT. Gross is the amount including VAT.
Why can I not simply subtract the VAT percentage from a gross amount?
The percentage was originally applied to the smaller net amount. To recover net from gross, divide the gross amount by one plus the rate expressed as a decimal.
Can I enter decimal amounts?
Yes. In English, use a decimal point and do not use thousands separators.
