How to Calculate VAT

The calculation involves three steps:

1. Identify whether VAT is included, excluded, or both.
2. Use the formula based on the chosen option.
3. Compute the VAT and total amount accordingly.

Complete Calculation Process

To calculate VAT accurately, follow these steps:

1. Input the amount and VAT percentage: Start by entering the total amount and the applicable VAT rate in the calculator. For example, if the total is $500 and VAT is 20%, these values are essential.

2. Choose your VAT option:

   • Include VAT: This option finds the VAT within the given amount. It also calculates the price without VAT.
   • Exclude VAT: This computes the VAT added to the base price and gives the total cost.
   • Both options: Selecting this provides a breakdown for both include and exclude VAT scenarios.

3. Apply the formulas:

   • Exclude VAT formula:  $$\text{Total} = \text{Amount} + \text{VAT Amount}$$
   • Include VAT formula: $$\text{Total} = \text{Amount} – \text{VAT Amount}$$

4. Interpret the results: Once the calculator processes the input, it provides the VAT amount and total cost for your selected option(s). If both are chosen, you’ll get a complete view of all calculations.

This detailed process ensures accurate and transparent VAT computation for any transaction.
