Helm AI
Free calculator

VAT calculator

Enter an amount. The calculator adds the standard rate of 15%, and it also shows the tax inside a total that already includes it.

The two questions this answers

Adding the tax: the tax is the net amount times the rate, and the total is the net amount plus the tax.

Taking the tax out: the net amount is the total divided by one plus the rate, and the tax is the difference.

The judgement this cannot make for you

The standard rate is the simple part.

Whether a supply is standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt is a judgement about that supply. Helm flags it rather than assuming it, and so should you.

This is an estimate, and it is not legal, tax, payroll or compliance advice. Rules, dates and the facts of one employee can change the result. Verify it with the authority before you pay.
