About the UK VAT Calculator
The UK standard VAT rate is 20%, the reduced rate is 5%, and zero-rated supplies use 0%. For a net price of £100 at 20%, VAT is £20 and the gross price is £120. Removing VAT requires dividing the gross amount by 1.2: 20% of the gross price is not the VAT component. At 5%, divide by 1.05 instead. Zero-rated sales and exempt supplies are legally different even when neither produces VAT on the sale; this tool does not classify goods or services, decide registration obligations or prepare VAT returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Divide the gross price by 1.2 for the net amount. The VAT is gross minus net; £120 gross gives £100 net and £20 VAT.
