How does the advance invoice calculator work?

The calculator uses the formula: net = gross / (1 + VAT rate). VAT is calculated as the difference between gross and net. Results are rounded to 2 decimal places in accordance with accounting standards.

Advance Invoice Calculation Example

A company received an advance payment of 12,300 PLN gross at a 23% VAT rate. The calculator gives: net amount = 10,000 PLN, VAT = 2,300 PLN, gross amount = 12,300 PLN. These figures go directly on the advance invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an advance invoice?

An advance invoice is a document issued upon receiving a deposit or prepayment before a service is rendered or goods are delivered. It must include the payment date, net amount, VAT rate, and VAT amount.

How do you calculate the net amount from the gross amount?

The net amount is calculated by dividing the gross amount by (1 + VAT rate). For example, for a gross amount of 12,300 PLN at 23% VAT: 12,300 / 1.23 = 10,000 PLN net.
