How the VAT calculator works
To add VAT, multiply the net price by the VAT rate and add it on. To remove VAT, divide the gross price by 1 plus the rate. At 20%, that means dividing by 1.2.
Which VAT rate applies
Most goods and services are standard rated at 20%. Some, such as domestic fuel, are reduced rated at 5%. Others, including many foods and books, are zero rated. Some supplies are exempt, which is different.
Worked example
See it with real numbers
Adding 20% VAT to a net price of £1,000 gives VAT of £200 and a gross price of £1,200. Removing VAT from £1,200 takes you back to £1,000 net.
