Add VAT (net → gross) or remove VAT (gross → net) with UK and EU 2026 presets, a custom rate, single-amount mode, or a multi-line invoice with per-line rates and CSV export. Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
VAT is a percentage of the net (tax-exclusive) amount. This estimator never guesses a rate from a product type — you pick a 2026 country preset or a custom percent.
These dropdowns are convenience labels, not legal rates. Super-reduced and extra reduced bands (for example Ireland 13.5% / 9% / 4.8%, France 2.1%, Spain 4%, Italy 4%) are not listed — type them in Custom %.
| Country | Preset bands in this tool | Note |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Standard 20%, Reduced 5%, Zero 0% | Common 2026 preset — confirm on GOV.UK |
| Ireland | Standard 23% only | Labeled 2026 preset (verified as 23% standard in 2026 sources; re-verify). Other Irish bands via Custom % |
| Germany | 19% / 7% | Common 2026 preset |
| France | 20% / 5.5% / 10% | Common 2026 preset (10% is the intermediate band) |
| Netherlands | 21% / 9% | Common 2026 preset |
| Spain | 21% / 10% | Common 2026 preset |
| Italy | 22% / 10% | Common 2026 preset |
| Custom | Any % | User override |
Net is the amount before VAT. VAT is the tax. Gross is net plus VAT — what the customer pays if VAT is charged. At 20%: net 100, VAT 20, gross 120.
This tool ships a common 2026 UK preset: Standard 20%, Reduced 5%, Zero 0%. That is a convenience label, not a live HMRC feed. Zero-rated is VAT at 0%, which is not the same as exempt. Confirm the rate for your supply on GOV.UK before you invoice.
Add VAT treats your figure as exclusive: VAT = net × (rate ÷ 100), gross = net + VAT. Remove VAT treats it as inclusive: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100), VAT = gross − net. They reverse each other at the same rate, aside from two-decimal rounding.
Yes. Use invoice lines mode. Each row has a description, amount, and its own rate. Amounts are net when adding VAT and gross when removing VAT. Totals sum the rounded lines. Mixed rates (20% + 5% + 0%) are supported.
Export CSV builds a file in your browser with a Blob and downloads it. Nothing is uploaded. You get each line (description, rate, net, VAT, gross), a totals row, plus mode / country / disclaimer metadata. It is a worksheet aid, not a VAT return.
No. Educational estimator only. Rates change. OSS and IOSS are not modeled. Verify with a qualified adviser or accounting software before you invoice, file, or pay VAT.
No. They are common 2026 presets you can override. Ireland is listed as standard 23% only (labeled preset; re-verify). Other Irish or super-reduced bands belong in Custom %. Check HMRC, Revenue.ie, or the Commission VAT rates table before publish.
No. EU OSS, Import OSS, reverse charge, distance selling, and place-of-supply tests are out of scope. This page only applies a percentage you choose to net or gross amounts.
