About this tool
Calculate tax on top of a subtotal or back tax out of a tax-included total for invoices, pricing checks, and receipts.
Tax Calculator is helpful when the practical question is whether tax should be added on top or separated from a price that already includes it. It is useful for quoting, invoicing, budgeting, and receipt checks across VAT, GST, and sales-tax style workflows.
- Supports both add-tax and tax-included calculation modes.
- Shows subtotal, tax amount, and final total in one pass.
- Useful for sales tax, VAT, GST, and quote preparation.
How to use Tax Calculator
Choose whether the tax is added on top of the base amount or already included inside the final price, then enter the amount and rate to see subtotal, tax amount, and final total together. Use tax-included mode when you want to reverse-engineer a receipt or advertised price.
When this tool is useful
- Add VAT, GST, or sales tax on top of a pre-tax subtotal.
- Back tax out of a tax-included total on a receipt or quoted price.
- Check invoice math quickly before sending or approving a payment.
Practical tips
- Use tax-included mode when the displayed total already includes tax and you need the base amount underneath it.
- Double-check the tax rate before comparing prices across regions because VAT and sales-tax rules vary.
- Pair this with the percentage calculator if you also need discount or markup math on the same quote.
