FREE VAT CALCULATOR
Add VAT to a price or work backwards from a VAT-inclusive total. Works with any rate, so you can use it for sales tax or GST too.
Free. No signup. Runs in your browser.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to Angelwood or stored on a server.
Total including VAT: £1,200.00
A calculation aid, not tax advice. Which rate applies depends on what you sell and where; check with HMRC or your accountant.
Don’t remove VAT by subtracting 20% of the gross: that gives the wrong answer. Divide by 1.2 instead. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to Angelwood or saved on a server.
| Rate | Applies to (examples) |
|---|---|
| Standard: 20% | Most goods and services |
| Reduced: 5% | Some goods and services, such as home energy |
| Zero: 0% | Zero-rated goods, such as most food and children’s clothes |

£1,000 of consulting plus 20% VAT is £1,200. Working backwards, a £1,200 VAT-inclusive total is £1,200 ÷ 1.2 = £1,000 net and £200 VAT.
DO IT IN ANGELWOOD
Angelwood invoices include tax and discounts, with PDF and email delivery and card payments through Stripe.
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1 plus the rate. At 20%, divide by 1.2; the difference is the VAT.
Only if you’re registered for VAT. In the UK you must register once your VAT-taxable turnover passes the threshold set by HMRC; check the current threshold on GOV.UK.
Yes. Enter the rate that applies to you; the maths is the same. It’s a calculation aid, not tax advice.
