How the Tax-Exclusive Price Calculator Works
Net Price (tax-exclusive) = Gross Price ÷ (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100)
Tax Amount = Gross Price − Net Price
Example: Gross $120 at 20% VAT → Net = $120 ÷ 1.20 = $100 · Tax extracted = $20
Note: the tax rate is applied to the net, not the gross, so 20% of $100 = $20, not 20% of $120 = $24

Tax-Exclusive Price Calculator Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just multiply the gross by the tax rate to get the tax?
Because tax is calculated on the net price, not the gross. At 20% VAT, $120 gross contains $20 tax ($100 net × 20%). If you multiply $120 × 20% = $24, that's wrong, you're calculating 20% of a price that already includes the tax.
When would I need to extract tax from a gross price?
VAT-registered businesses reclaim input VAT they paid on purchases. To reclaim, they need the net and VAT amounts from gross invoices. This calculator performs that extraction instantly.
Is this the same as a reverse VAT calculation?
Yes, reverse VAT (or de-VAT) is the process of extracting the net price from a VAT-inclusive gross price. The formula is Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate). This calculator does exactly that.
What is the difference between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive pricing?
Tax-inclusive (gross) pricing shows the final price the customer pays, with tax embedded. Tax-exclusive (net) pricing shows the price before tax is added, common in B2B invoicing where the buyer reclaims VAT.
Are the numbers I enter into this calculator saved or tracked?
No. Every calculation runs right inside your browser using local code. Your salary, debts, and loan numbers stay completely private. Nothing is ever saved or sent to any server.
How should I account for taxes, inflation, and unexpected fees?
Most formulas show baseline estimates. In real life, keep local taxes, inflation, and bank fees in mind so your budget matches your actual costs.
