The formula
How the calculation works.
Two operations, one rate. Adding VAT grosses a net figure up; extracting VAT works backwards from a VAT-inclusive figure to the net amount.
Add VAT
Start from an amount before VAT.
- VAT = amount × rate
- Total = amount + VAT
Extract VAT
Start from an amount that already includes VAT.
- Base = amount ÷ (1 + rate)
- VAT = amount − base
