About
What is it?
The VAT calculator lets you instantly convert prices between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive amounts. Supports all French VAT rates: 20% (standard rate), 10% (intermediate rate) and 5.5% (reduced rate).
Why use it?
Confusing pre-tax and post-tax prices is one of the most common accounting mistakes. A VAT error on an invoice can trigger a tax audit or result in miscalculated margins. This tool gives you an exact result in under a second.
How does it work?
Enter your amount, choose the conversion direction (tax-inclusive → tax-exclusive or vice versa) and select your VAT rate. The converted amount and VAT amount are displayed immediately. Formula incl. → excl.: price excl. = price incl. ÷ (1 + VAT rate).
Usage tips
- The 20% rate applies to the majority of products and services
- The 10% rate covers restaurants, transport and certain renovation work
- The 5.5% rate applies to basic food, books and gas/electricity subscriptions
- Always show on invoices: pre-tax price, applicable VAT rate and total price
- Quick mental check at 20%: divide the tax-inclusive price by 1.20
