GST/VAT Calculation Formulas
Add Tax (Forward Calculation)
To add GST/VAT to a base price, use this formula:
Total Price = Base Price × (1 + Tax Rate / 100)
Tax Amount = Total Price - Base Price
Example: Adding 18% GST to ₹1,000
Total = 1,000 × (1 + 18/100) = 1,000 × 1.18 = ₹1,180
Tax = 1,180 - 1,000 = ₹180
Remove Tax (Reverse Calculation)
To extract tax from an inclusive price, use this formula:
Base Price = Total Amount ÷ (1 + Tax Rate / 100)
Tax Amount = Total Amount - Base Price
Example: Extracting 18% GST from ₹1,180
Base = 1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000
Tax = 1,180 - 1,000 = ₹180
