How the Calculation Works
Adding VAT to a Net Amount
When adding VAT to a net amount, the formula used is:
VAT Amount = Net Amount × (VAT Rate ÷ 100)
Gross Amount = Net Amount + VAT Amount
Example:
- Net amount: €100
- VAT rate: 23%
- VAT amount: €100 × (23 ÷ 100) = €23
- Gross amount: €100 + €23 = €123
Deducting VAT from a Gross Amount
When deducting VAT from a gross amount, the formula used is:
Net Amount = Gross Amount ÷ (1 + (VAT Rate ÷ 100))
VAT Amount = Gross Amount - Net Amount
Example:
- Gross amount: €123
- VAT rate: 23%
- Net amount: €123 ÷ (1 + (23 ÷ 100)) = €100
- VAT amount: €123 - €100 = €23
