About this VAT Calculator
The VAT Calculator supports two common tax calculations: adding a percentage tax to a net amount and extracting the tax component from a price that already includes it. Because tax rules vary by country and product, you choose the rate yourself.

The gross amount is divided by 1 plus the tax rate expressed as a decimal.
Can I use this for sales tax or GST?
