How to remove VAT from a price
A reverse (or backwards) VAT calculation starts from a gross, VAT-inclusive amount and works out how much of it is VAT. At the UK standard rate of 20%:
- Net (excl. VAT) = gross ÷ 1.20
- VAT = gross − net
For example, a gross amount of £120 contains £100 net and £20 of VAT. For the reduced 5% rate you would divide by 1.05 instead.
This calculator is a general guide. Always confirm the correct VAT rate and treatment for your goods or services with HMRC.
