Mastering GST and Sales Tax Calculations
Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Sales Tax is a consumption tax imposed on the sale of goods and services. For business owners and savvy shoppers, understanding how to reverse-calculate tax from a total price is essential for accounting and budgeting.
Add Tax (Exclusive) vs. Remove Tax (Inclusive)
When a price is 'Exclusive' of tax, you add the percentage on top of the base price. When a price is 'Inclusive', the tax is already hidden within the total. Calculating the base price from an inclusive total requires a specific formula: **Net Price = Total Price / (1 + Tax Rate)**. Our tool automates this complex math to ensure you never overpay or miscalculate your liabilities.
