This calculator adds GST onto a pre-tax amount or removes it from a GST-inclusive price, showing the base, the tax, and the total. Use it to price goods with tax on top, or to back out the tax already baked into a quoted figure.

How this is calculated

In add mode the tax is amount times rate divided by 100, added to the base; in remove mode the base is amount divided by (1 plus rate divided by 100) and the tax is the difference, with results rounded to two decimals.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount.
  2. Set the GST rate (e.g. 18) and choose Add or Remove.
  3. Read the base, tax, and total.

Examples

  • Add 18%: 1000 → tax 180, total 1180
  • Remove 18%: 1180 → base 1000, tax 180

FAQ

What is the difference between adding and removing GST?
Add treats your amount as the pre-tax base and adds GST on top. Remove treats your amount as GST-inclusive and extracts the base and tax from it.
How is GST removed from an inclusive price?
Base = amount ÷ (1 + rate/100), then tax = amount − base. For 1180 at 18%, the base is 1000 and the GST is 180.
Are results rounded?
Yes, to two decimal places using standard half-up rounding, the convention for currency.
