VAT Calculator vat-calculator.net
Note: The tax rate consists of three separate charges: VAT 15%, NHIL 2.5%, and GETFund 2.5%, giving a total of 20%. Since 1 January 2026 (VAT Act 2025, Act 1151), all three are calculated on the same taxable value. Use the 15% rate if you need the VAT component alone. If each line is rounded separately, the three amounts may add up to slightly more or less than the amount calculated using 20% at once. (Before 2026, the levies were added to the price first, after which VAT was calculated on the increased amount, resulting in an effective combined rate of about 21.9%.)
Advanced mode: You will see the effect of rounding on the VAT amount to be paid. See how the calculation is done.

VAT Calculator calculates the VAT amount as well as the price with and without VAT. The VAT % is pre-filled, but you can change it or clear the value. The results are rounded to your desired precision. You can also make a currency conversion.
You can also choose the VAT% by clicking the percentages in the tables below.

Calculate United States Sales Tax. Sales Tax in US varies by location. There is base sales tax by most of the states. Counties, cities and districts impose their own local taxes. See California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.
VAT rounding: the EU, the UK and other European countries
The EU VAT Directive and the Court of Justice of the European Union leave VAT rounding rules to be decided at national level. National rules vary. In the UK, HMRC allows VAT on B2B invoices to be rounded down to the nearest whole penny.
Roundings in VAT calculation: Mathematically impossible prices?
There are a whole range of VAT-inclusive prices that cannot be mathematically arrived at if the tax is calculated from the VAT-free price. One example is 3.99. These prices are also possible, but then the VAT-free price must be interpreted as rounded.
VAT Gap - How much VAT is left uncollected in EU countries?
9.5% of VAT was left uncollected in EU countries. See the list of EU countries and candidate countries.
In Europe there is VAT - in the US sales tax
In Europe, companies belonging to the production chain account for the VAT paid by the consumer to the state in proportion to their value added. The US sales tax, on the other hand, is billed entirely by the company that made the consumer sale. Sales tax is paid to local operators, not to the state.
Many of today's taxes were already in use in Antiquity. Deciding on taxation has moved from autocrats to parliaments and the level of taxation has risen. In earlier times taxes were used to wage wars, today taxes are used to maintain welfare states.
