Calculate VAT amounts for different VAT rates applicable in India.
About VAT Calculator
The VAT Calculator from ToolsOfIndia gives traders dealing with petroleum, alcohol and international VAT a quick, dependable way to get answers without wrestling with formulas. The assumptions are tuned to the Indian market, from new-regime tax slabs to the interest rates actually offered by major banks and Post Office schemes. Calculate Value Added Tax for pre-GST transactions and for the items still outside GST in India, such as petroleum products and alcohol for human consumption. Enter the net price and the VAT rate, and the tool shows the VAT amount, the gross price and the net price, with both inclusive and exclusive modes. For international VAT such as the UK 20 per cent or UAE 5 per cent, the same logic applies, which makes the tool useful for exporters and importers. The historical Indian VAT rates, replaced by GST in July 2017 for most goods, are retained for reference, but the calculator stays neutral about which rate you enter. You will find it handy when working out VAT on a petroleum product, while checking UAE 5 per cent VAT on an invoice, or before handling a pre-GST retrospective bill. It works just as well on a budget Android phone as on an office desktop, over any connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied on the value added at each stage of production and distribution. In India, VAT was replaced by GST in July 2017 for most goods and services.
How is VAT calculated?
VAT = Net Price × VAT Rate / 100. For inclusive calculation: VAT = Gross Price × VAT Rate / (100 + VAT Rate). The net price is the price before tax.
Is VAT still applicable in India?
VAT was subsumed into GST from July 1, 2017. However, VAT still applies to petroleum products, alcohol for human consumption, and some states have their own VAT on specific items.
Is VAT still used in India?
GST replaced VAT for most goods in July 2017, but VAT still applies to petroleum, alcohol and a few state items.
How is inclusive VAT computed?
VAT = Gross Price x Rate divided by (100 + Rate), so from a VAT-inclusive price you can back out the tax and the net base.
