Use this VAT calculator and GST calculator to add tax to a net price or to pull the tax out of a tax-inclusive price. It covers Bangladesh value-added tax (VAT) and India’s goods and services tax (GST), and you can enter any custom rate.
Formulas
Adding VAT: gross price = net price × (1 + rate/100)
Removing VAT: net price = gross price ÷ (1 + rate/100). A common mistake is to subtract 15% of the gross price, which gives the wrong answer.
Example
15% VAT on a 1,000 product is 150, making a gross price of 1,150. Removing VAT from 1,150 brings you back to a net price of 1,000.
Current rates
Bangladesh: the standard VAT rate is 15%, with reduced rates for certain goods and services. Check the latest National Board of Revenue (NBR) notifications for the rate on a specific item.
India: the GST reform effective 22 September 2025 largely removed the 12% and 28% slabs, leaving 5% and 18% as the main rates and 40% for luxury and sin goods, with special rates for items such as gold. For the rate on a particular product, see the latest CBIC / GST Council schedules, or choose “Custom rate”.
Frequently asked questions
What are CGST, SGST and IGST?
In India, GST on a sale within one state is split equally between the centre (CGST) and the state (SGST). On an inter-state sale the full amount is collected as IGST.
