GST Tax Rate Calculator
Calculate your GST with ease for exclusive or inclusive cases. Instantly find the net amount, GST amount, and gross amount accurately.
GST, or Goods and Services Tax, is a value-added tax applied to the sale of goods and services in many countries around the world. It's important to understand the two common scenarios for GST calculations: GST exclusive and GST inclusive. Our GST Calculator Tool helps you easily determine the amount of GST to apply based on the type of calculation you need—whether GST is calculated exclusively or included in the final price.
How the GST Calculator Works
When you use our tool, you can select either the exclusive or inclusive GST calculation method. This affects how the GST is calculated based on the amount and the specified GST rate.
Exclusive GST Calculation:
In an exclusive calculation, the GST amount is added to the base amount or price. The total amount with GST is the sum of the original amount and the calculated GST. For instance:
- If the Amount is $100,000, and the GST Rate is 6%, then:
- Net amount: $100,000 (the original price)
- GST amount: $6,000 (6% of $100,000)
- Gross amount: $106,000 (the original amount plus the GST)
This calculation shows that the GST is calculated separately from the base price.
Inclusive GST Calculation:
In an inclusive calculation, the GST is already included in the total price. The net amount (pre-GST value) is extracted by deducting the GST portion from the total amount. Here's an example:
- If the Amount is $200,000, and the GST Rate is 9%, then:
- Net amount: $183,486.24 (the original price before GST)
- GST amount: $16,513.76 (the portion of $200,000 that is GST)
- Gross amount: $200,000 (the total price, including GST)
This method is often used when pricing goods and services, as the total price to the customer, already includes the tax.
