VAT calculator — net and gross
Convert a net price to gross or a gross price to net. Choose the VAT rate (23%, 8%, 5% or 0%) and the direction.
How we calculate VAT
Net → gross: gross = net × (1 + rate/100). Gross → net: net = gross / (1 + rate/100). VAT = gross − net.
Example: PLN 100 net, 23%
For PLN 100 net at 23%: VAT is PLN 23, gross price is PLN 123. Reverse: PLN 123 gross at 23% gives PLN 100 net and PLN 23 tax.
