VAT calculator add it or take it off.
Add VAT to a net price, or work back from a total that already includes it. Handy when a supplier quotes one way and your customer wants it the other.

How do I add 20% VAT?
Multiply the net price by 1.2. £250 plus VAT is £300.
How do I take VAT off a total?
Divide the total by 1.2 to get the net price. The VAT is the difference. £300 including VAT is £250 plus £50 VAT. Taking 20% off the total gives the wrong answer.
When does the 5% rate apply?
Some work is charged at the reduced rate, such as certain energy-saving installations and some work on homes for people over 60 or with disabilities. The rules are specific, so check HMRC's guidance for the job before you quote.
Do I charge VAT if I'm not registered?
No. If you are not VAT registered you must not charge VAT. Check the registration threshold on GOV.UK, and keep an eye on your rolling 12-month turnover.
