Add or remove VAT from any amount. Supports 20%, 5% and 0% UK VAT rates.
Choose direction
Pick "Add VAT" to find the gross price from a net amount, or "Remove VAT" to extract the net price and VAT element from a gross figure on a receipt or invoice.
Enter the amount
Type the relevant figure — net price (for adding) or gross price (for removing). Decimals are accepted and rounded to the nearest penny in the output.
Select VAT rate
Choose 20% standard, 5% reduced or 0% zero. Most items use 20%. Use 5% for domestic energy bills and certain energy-efficiency installations.
Read the breakdown
See net, VAT and gross side by side. Copy figures straight into accounting software, invoices or expense claims.
Check registration threshold
If your business turnover is approaching £90,000 in any rolling 12 months, register for VAT before you cross the line. Late registration triggers penalties plus backdated VAT due.
See 20% VAT applied to common amounts.
UK VAT registration is mandatory above £90,000 turnover. Voluntary below. Here's the threshold, when to register, the Flat Rate Scheme, MTD VAT rules and how to deregister if turnover falls
The VAT Flat Rate Scheme charges a fixed percentage of your gross turnover instead of tracking input and output VAT separately — and the percentage varies enormously by trade. Here is how it works and whether it still pays off in 2026/27.
If your business buys expensive property, computer equipment or aircraft and its taxable use changes over time, the VAT Capital Goods Scheme requires you to adjust your original input VAT claim annually. Here's how it works.
