How the Math Works
Adding VAT: If your net (ex-VAT) price is £100 and VAT is 20%:
Gross = Net × (1 + VAT%) Gross = £100 × 1.20 = £120 VAT amount = £20
Removing VAT from a £120 inc-VAT price at 20%:
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT%) Net = £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 VAT amount = £20
FAQ
How do you add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net price by (1 + VAT rate). For UK 20% VAT: net × 1.20 = gross. E.g., £100 × 1.20 = £120.
How do you extract VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross price by (1 + VAT rate). For UK 20%: gross ÷ 1.20 = net. The VAT amount is gross − net.
What is the standard VAT rate in the UK?
