VAT Calculator: Add or Remove Tax Easily

VAT (Value Added Tax) is one of the main taxes across Europe. While rates vary by country — from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary — the calculation principles remain the same. The VAT Calculator on Tuble.net helps you quickly add or remove tax from any amount.

Two Calculation Modes

Extract VAT from Amount

Use this when you have a total including VAT and need to know the tax portion. For example, at 20% VAT: €120 total contains €100 net and €20 VAT.

Formula: VAT = Total ÷ (1 + rate) × rate

Add VAT to Amount

Use this when you have a net amount and need the VAT-inclusive total. For example: €100 net + 20% VAT = €120 total.

Formula: VAT = Net × rate
