GST Calculator

Add GST to a base price, or work out the base price and GST from a final amount.

—Base amount
—GST amount
—Total amount

Exclusive vs inclusive amounts

"Add GST" treats your amount as the base price and adds GST on top. "Remove GST" treats your amount as already including GST — common when a receipt only shows the final price — and works backward to find the base and tax split.

About the GST Calculator

The GST Calculator adds GST to an amount, or removes it from a GST-inclusive price to find the base amount and tax. It supports common rates such as 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent and any custom rate.

To add GST, multiply the base amount by the rate and add it to the base. To remove GST from an inclusive price, divide the total by one plus the rate and subtract to find the tax. Rates and rules depend on your country and the product category, and they change, so confirm the current rate with official notifications before invoicing.

How to use it

  1. Choose whether to add or remove GST.
  2. Select a rate or enter your own.
  3. Enter the amount.
  4. Read the base amount, GST amount and total.
