How does the vat calculator work?

VAT can be confusing. Not every business charges VAT as they may not turning over enough to be VAT-registered. Then there are different rates of VAT depending on the nature of the goods or services being sold. Our VAT calculator looks just at the standard rate of VAT which is currently 20%. This applies to most goods.

Whether you’re working out how much VAT to charge customers or figuring out how much VAT you’ll be charged by suppliers, our VAT calculator will help you breakdown the costs. For example:

  • You want to work out how much VAT will be charged on £1,000 (gross).
  • The net figure before VAT is applied is £833. 
  • The VAT figure will make up the remaining £166.67 – making your gross figure £1,000.

I’ve been working through the how to start a business in 20 days ebook and so many of the things I’d done are now nicely tied together and some gaps now filled. I love the simplicity. Thank you.
