Frequently asked questions

Is this GST / tax calculator free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. All calculations run in your browser — nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

How do I add GST or sales tax to a price?

Use the “add tax” mode: enter the pre-tax (net) amount and the tax rate, and it shows the tax and the final tax-inclusive (gross) total. For example, adding 18% GST to 1,000 gives 180 tax and a 1,180 total.

How do I remove GST from a total that already includes it?

Use the “remove tax” mode: enter the tax-inclusive (gross) amount and the rate, and it works backwards to show the original net amount and the tax portion. It divides by (1 + rate), not just subtracting the percentage — which is the correct way to extract included tax.

Does it work for VAT and other sales taxes?

Yes — the maths is the same for any percentage-based tax like VAT, GST or general sales tax. Just enter the rate that applies to you, or type a custom one.
