How It Works
The Netherlands applies a standard VAT rate of 21%. To add VAT, the calculator multiplies the net price by 21% and adds it to give the gross price. To remove it, it divides the gross amount by 1.21 to recover the net price and reveal the VAT portion. A reduced 9% rate applies to food, medicines, books and public transport.
