How this calculator works

VAT is a tax added to many goods and services in the UK. This calculator can add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price. Always confirm the correct VAT rate for the specific product or service because zero-rated, reduced-rated and exempt items are treated differently.

Worked example

Change the default figures to match your situation, then run the calculation. For planning, test at least three scenarios: a conservative case, a likely case and a stretch case. This helps avoid relying on one optimistic number.

Common mistakes

  • Using headline rates without checking fees or eligibility.
  • Ignoring inflation, tax treatment or future income changes.
  • Comparing monthly cost only, without checking total cost over time.
