📊 GST Calculator

What is a GST Calculator?

A GST Calculator computes the Goods and Services Tax amount on a product or service price, showing both the tax inclusive and tax exclusive amounts based on the applicable GST rate.

Formula Used

GST Amount equals Price times GST Rate divided by 100. For removing GST from an inclusive price, the base price equals the total divided by 1 plus the GST rate as a decimal.

How to Use This Tool

Enter the price of the item or service. Select the applicable GST rate, such as 5, 12, 18, or 28 percent. Choose whether the entered price includes or excludes GST. Click Calculate to see the breakdown.

Examples

Example 1: A product priced at 1000 rupees with 18 percent GST added results in a GST amount of 180 rupees, bringing the total to 1180 rupees.

Example 2: A total price of 1180 rupees that already includes 18 percent GST has a base price of 1000 rupees with 180 rupees as the GST component.

Common Use Cases

Calculating GST for invoices and business billing. Verifying tax amounts shown on purchase receipts. Determining the base price when only the GST inclusive total is known. Comparing pricing across products with different GST slabs.
