Simply enter the amount you want to work with, select whether that amount already includes VAT or not and hey presto! – you have VAT Calculated forwards or backwards.

Simply tick or untick the ‘Does this include VAT?’ box, to show the figure as VAT included or VAT excluded.

How to remove VAT from a sum manually
Divide the gross amount by (1 + VAT %)
VAT Rate is 20% so divide by 1.20

Example:
£100.00 divided by 1.20 = £83.33
Subtract £83.33 from £100.00 = £16.67

Therefore £16.67 is the VAT Amount on an item sold for £100.00.

If you try this sum on the VAT Calculator you will see that it is correct.
