A GST calculator that adds Goods and Services Tax onto a net price or strips it back out of a tax-inclusive price, and shows the full working as it goes. It is built for freelancers, small businesses, online sellers and accountants in Australia, New Zealand, India, Canada and Singapore who need to split a figure into its net, tax and gross parts in seconds. Pick a country preset to load the right rate and label, or switch to a custom rate for anywhere else GST or a flat sales tax applies.
How it works
GST is a percentage tax charged on the net (pre-tax) value of goods and services. The two everyday questions are mirror images of each other, and this tool handles both.
When you add GST, your starting figure is the net price. The tax is net × rate, and
the gross is net + tax. So a net of 100 at a 10 percent rate gives 10 of GST and a gross
of 110.
When you remove GST, your starting figure already includes the tax, so you cannot simply
subtract the percentage — that would over-remove it. Instead you divide the gross by
1 + rate. At 10 percent that means dividing by 1.10: a gross of 110 yields a net of 100,
and the GST component is the difference, 10. The calculator runs whichever path you choose
and prints each multiplication and division so you can check it by hand or copy it into an
invoice.
Add: gross = net × (1 + rate) and tax = net × rate Remove: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate) and tax = gross − net
Country presets only set a sensible default rate and the right label (GST, or GST/HST in Canada). India exposes its full band structure of 0, 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent as quick-pick chips. You can override any preset by typing a custom rate, and you can display results in a local currency symbol or a neutral number with no symbol at all.
Worked example
A New Zealand consultant quotes a job at a net fee of 2,000 with GST at 15 percent. In Add
mode the GST is 2000 × 15% = 300, so the gross invoice total is 2000 + 300 = 2,300.
Now suppose a customer hands you a GST-inclusive receipt for 2,300 and you need the
GST portion for your return. In Remove mode the net is 2300 ÷ 1.15 = 2,000 and the GST is
2300 − 2000 = 300 — exactly reversing the first calculation.
| Country | Rate | Net | GST | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | 10% | 100.00 | 10.00 | 110.00 |
| New Zealand | 15% | 2,000.00 | 300.00 | 2,300.00 |
| India | 18% | 500.00 | 90.00 | 590.00 |
| Canada (HST) | 13% | 250.00 | 32.50 | 282.50 |
