EU VAT Calculator
Work out how much VAT to add to a net price, or separate the VAT included in a gross price. Choose an EU country’s standard rate or enter a custom rate.
How to use it
- Choose whether you are adding VAT to a net price or removing VAT from a gross price.
- Select an EU country to use its standard VAT rate, or choose Custom rate for a reduced rate or a country outside the EU presets.
- Enter the price in your own currency. Decimal commas and decimal points are accepted.
- Read the net amount, VAT portion and gross total. Copy the breakdown if you need it elsewhere.
Limitations
- Country presets use standard rates only. Reduced and zero rates depend on the type of product or service.
- Some countries have territories with different VAT rules. Check the relevant tax authority for your location and transaction.
- This calculator does not determine which country’s VAT applies to a transaction or provide tax advice.
- EU standard-rate presets were last checked on 13 July 2026. Rates and rules can change.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between net and gross price?
Net is the price before VAT. Gross is the price after VAT has been added. When removing VAT, the calculator separates the included VAT from the gross amount.
Why does a country have more than one VAT rate?
EU countries set their own rates within the EU framework. Reduced rates or exemptions may apply to particular goods and services; the preset is the standard rate for general estimates.
Can I use a reduced VAT rate or a rate outside the EU?
Yes. Choose Custom rate and enter the rate that applies to your item and transaction.
Does this tell me which country’s VAT I should charge?
No. Place-of-supply rules, the type of transaction, customer status and special territories can affect which rules apply. Confirm your case with the relevant tax authority or an adviser.
