How to use the VAT calculator
Calculating VAT for VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive prices in South Africa has never been easier. Only 3 easy steps for VAT calculation:
Check the "VAT rate" (it’s pre-set to the SA VAT rate of 15%)
Enter the amount – net or gross price. Check full VAT rates list below
Click "Remove VAT" or "Add VAT" depending on what you want
If you want to add VAT to the price, you just need to divide the price by 100 and then multiply by (100 + VAT rate). That's all, you got the price including VAT - Gross price.
For example, we will calculate VAT at a standard SA VAT rate of 15%. If your business sells goods and services for R500
If you want to subtract VAT from the price, you need to divide the price by (100 + VAT rate) and then multiply by 100. Now you know the price excluding VAT - Net price.
For example, we will calculate VAT at a standard SA VAT rate of 15%. If your business sells goods and services for R500
If you need to calculate VAT for several products at once, it is easier to use Excel. I created a template – download it, it's free.
