About This Tool
Consumption tax goes by different names around the world — sales tax in the US, VAT across the UK and EU, GST in India, Canada, and Australia — but the math is the same. This calculator works both ways: add tax on top of a net price, or work backward from a tax-inclusive price to find the pre-tax amount. Quick-select common regional rates or type in any custom percentage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sales tax, VAT, and GST?
They are all consumption taxes charged on goods and services, but differ in how and where they are collected in the supply chain. For a simple price calculation, they can be treated the same way mathematically.
Are the preset rates always accurate?
Tax rates change and vary by product category, state, or province. Presets are a starting point — always confirm the exact current rate for your specific location and item.
What does "Extract Tax" do?
It takes a tax-inclusive price (the final price you paid) and calculates the original pre-tax amount and the tax portion within it.
