How to use this tool

VAT (Value Added Tax) is added to the net price to obtain the gross price. Common rates: France 20 % / 10 % / 5.5 % / 2.1 %, Germany 19 %, UK 20 %, Spain 21 %. The tool works both ways: net → gross (invoicing) or gross → net (expense reports).

Concrete examples

$100 net at 20 % VAT = $120 gross (VAT = $20)
$120 gross at 20 % VAT = $100 net (VAT = $20)
$50 net at 5.5 % VAT = $52.75 gross (books, groceries)
