How It Works
The UK applies a standard VAT rate of 20%. To add VAT, the calculator multiplies the net price by 20% and adds it to give the gross price. To remove it, it divides the gross amount by 1.20 to recover the net price and reveal the VAT portion. A reduced 5% rate applies to things like home energy and child car seats, and many essentials such as most food and children’s clothing are zero-rated.
