📐 About This Calculator

A Tax/VAT calculator quickly works out tax on a transaction. In Exclusive mode, tax is added on top of the entered price; in Inclusive mode, tax is separated out of a tax-inclusive total.

EXCLUSIVE MODE: Base = Amount entered Tax = Base × (Rate ÷ 100) Total = Base + Tax INCLUSIVE MODE: Total = Amount entered Base = Total ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100) Tax = Total − Base EFFECTIVE RATE: Effective Rate (%) = (Tax ÷ Total) × 100

🔢 Your calculation, step by step:

1.Your input: Amount (base) = 1,000, Rate = 15%
2.Step 1 — Tax: Tax = 1,000 × 15/100 = 150
3.Step 2 — Total: Total = 1,000 + 150 = 1,150

Variable Definitions:

• Rate = Tax/VAT rate (%)
• Base = Pre-tax amount
• Total = Amount including tax

✅ Best used for:

• Adding VAT/Tax to a product price
• Separating tax on an invoice
• Bangladesh VAT (15%), India GST (5/12/18/28%)

⚠️ Limitations:

• Does not support compound tax (tax-on-tax)

📖 How Tax / VAT is Calculated

What is Tax / VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax charged by the government on goods or services. The seller collects it and remits it to the government. More than 170 countries operate a VAT system.

Exclusive Mode

The amount you enter is the pre-tax base. Example: Base = 1000, Rate = 15% → Tax = 150, Total = 1150.

Inclusive Mode

The amount you enter already includes tax. Example: Total = 1150, Rate = 15% → Base = 1000, Tax = 150.

Effective Tax Rate

Effective Rate = (Tax ÷ Total) × 100 — the share of the final price that is tax.
