How it works?
Adding VAT: gross = net × (1 + rate ÷ 100). At a 24% rate, multiply the net price by 1.24.
Removing VAT: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100). At 24%, divide the gross price by 1.24. Never subtract the percentage straight from the gross price, because VAT is calculated on the net price.
Amounts are rounded to the cent as on an invoice: when adding VAT, the VAT is rounded and the gross price is net plus VAT. When removing VAT, the net price is rounded and the VAT is the difference. This way the three lines always add up to the cent.
EU standard VAT rates range from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary). Examples in 2026: Estonia 24%, Finland 25.5%, Latvia and Lithuania 21%, Germany 19%.
Frequently asked questions
What is VAT?
Value-added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added to most goods and services. The seller collects it on top of the net price and remits it to the tax authority. Registered businesses can usually deduct the VAT they pay on purchases (input VAT) from the VAT they charge on sales.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the gross price by 1 + rate ÷ 100. Example at 24%: 124 $ ÷ 1.24 = 100 $ net, so the VAT portion is 24 $. At 20% you would divide by 1.20, at 19% by 1.19, and so on.
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net price by 1 + rate ÷ 100. Example at 24%: 100 $ × 1.24 = 124 $ gross. The VAT amount alone is net × rate ÷ 100, i.e. 100 $ × 0.24 = 24 $.
Why can't I just subtract the percentage from the gross price?
Because VAT is calculated on the net price, not the gross. Subtracting 24% from 124 $ gives 94.24 $, which is wrong. The correct net price is 124 ÷ 1.24 = 100 $. At a 24% rate, VAT makes up only about 19.35% of the gross price.
What are the VAT rates in Europe?
EU standard rates range from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary. Examples in 2026: Estonia 24%, Finland 25.5%, Sweden 25%, Latvia and Lithuania 21%, Germany 19%. Most countries also apply one or more reduced rates to essentials such as food, books, and medicine.
