Got a quote with net and gross but no rate shown? Enter both.
Adding 20% to a price takes two seconds. The real VAT headaches are the ones around it: baskets mixing standard and reduced rates, quotes that hide the rate, annual totals for tax planning, and cross-border B2B sales where reverse charge applies. This calculator handles all of it in one place — pick your country preset, convert both directions live, build multi-rate baskets, and sanity-check mystery quotes.
Net is the price before VAT; gross is what the customer actually pays. In the UK and EU, consumer-facing prices must be shown gross (VAT included) — quoting net to consumers is not just confusing, it's against the rules. B2B quotes conventionally go net, with VAT added at invoice time. The quick converter shows both directions live so you always know which number you're looking at.
Most countries only require VAT registration above a turnover threshold (e.g. £90,000 in the UK). Below it, you generally can't charge VAT — but you also can't reclaim VAT on your costs. The annual estimator helps you see when you're approaching the line. Crossing it changes your pricing maths overnight, so plan ahead, not after.
Multiply the net price by (1 + rate/100) — e.g. £100 at 20% VAT = £120. The quick converter does both directions live.
Divide by (1 + rate/100) — e.g. £120 gross at 20% = £100 net. A common mistake is subtracting 20%, which gives the wrong answer (£96).
For many cross-border B2B sales, the buyer — not you — accounts for the VAT. You zero-rate the invoice but must keep proof of the buyer's VAT status.
Usually only above your country's turnover threshold. Below it you typically can't charge VAT or reclaim it on costs — check your local tax authority for the current figure.
