Features

Forward mode multiplies by (1+rate); reverse mode divides the gross by (1+rate) to recover the net — the exact math behind tax-inclusive pricing.

Benefits & Use Cases

Freelancers quote VAT-inclusive prices, shoppers in VAT countries see the tax hidden in prices, and small businesses reconcile invoices.

Tips

Always confirm whether a quoted price “includes VAT” — B2B quotes often exclude it while consumer prices include it.
