Frequently asked
When would I need this instead of the VAT Calculator?
Use this when you already have a final, VAT-inclusive price (e.g. from a receipt) and need to work out what portion was VAT and what the original net price was.
Is the math just "divide by 1.2"?
For a 20% rate, yes. More generally, the net price is the gross amount divided by (1 + rate/100), which this tool does automatically for any rate.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
