The ToolsLoop VAT Calculator is a free, instant tool that lets you add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross price — for any tax rate, any country, with no signup required. Whether you are calculating UAE VAT at 5%, UK VAT at 20%, Australian GST at 10%, or a custom rate for India, Canada, or the US, this tool gives you instant, accurate results in seconds.
To add VAT to a net (before tax) amount: enter the amount, type your VAT rate, select Add Tax and the calculator instantly shows you the gross price (including tax) and the exact VAT amount. The formula used is: Gross = Net × (1 + Rate/100). For example, AED 1,000 + 5% UAE VAT = AED 1,050 gross (VAT amount: AED 50).
To remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive (gross) price: enter the gross amount, set your rate, and select Remove Tax. The formula is: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + Rate/100). For example, a £120 UK price including 20% VAT gives a net price of £100 (VAT component: £20).

You must register for VAT and charge it on your invoices once your annual business revenue exceeds your country's VAT registration threshold. In the UK this is £90,000 per year; in the UAE it is AED 375,000; in Australia it is AUD 75,000. If you are VAT-registered, your VAT registration number must appear on every invoice — use the ToolsLoop Invoice Generator to add your VAT/TRN number automatically to every PDF invoice.

It includes preset rates for the most common countries, accepts any custom rate, and works entirely in your browser — your data is never sent to any server. No login, no fees, no limits.
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services at each stage of production and sale. It is ultimately paid by the end consumer. Businesses collect VAT on behalf of the government and can usually reclaim the VAT they pay on their own business expenses.
VAT and GST are essentially the same type of tax — a consumption tax collected at each stage of the supply chain. Countries use different names: VAT is used in the UK, UAE, and EU; GST (Goods and Services Tax) is used in Australia, India, Canada, New Zealand, and Singapore. The calculation method is identical.
Multiply the net (before tax) amount by the VAT rate percentage, then add it to the net amount. Example: Net £500 × 20% VAT = £100 VAT. Total invoice = £600. The ToolsLoop VAT Calculator does this automatically — just enter the amount and rate.
Yes. The VAT Calculator works for any country and any tax rate. It includes presets for UAE (5%), UK (20%), Australia (10%), and allows you to enter any custom rate for countries like India, Saudi Arabia, Canada, or US sales tax.
No. VAT is a tax on sales of goods and services, collected from customers and paid to the government by the business. Income tax is a tax on your profits or earnings. They are completely separate taxes.
Only if your annual revenue exceeds the VAT registration threshold in your country. Below that threshold, you are not required to charge VAT. Check your country's official tax authority website for the current threshold.
