What is the difference between Add VAT and Remove VAT?

Add VAT calculates the gross (total) price by adding VAT to your net amount — useful when you know your pre-tax price. Remove VAT extracts the net amount from a gross price — useful for checking how much VAT is included in a purchase price.

Do these rates include reduced VAT rates?

This calculator uses each country's standard VAT rate for calculations. Reduced rates (e.g., for food, books, or medicines) are shown as informational text below the country selector.
