VAT calculator. How to exclude or add VAT from an amount?
To exclude VAT from an amount, you can use the formula:
Amount excluding VAT = Amount including VAT / (1 + VAT rate)
For example, if the amount including VAT is 100 and the VAT rate is 0.2 (or 20%), the amount excluding VAT would be: 100 / (1 + 0.2) = 83.33
To add VAT to an amount, you can use the formula:
Amount including VAT = Amount excluding VAT x (1 + VAT rate)
For example, if the amount excluding VAT is 100 and the VAT rate is 0.2 (or 20%), the amount including VAT would be: 100 x (1 + 0.2) = 120.
