About VAT reverse calculator

The VAT Reverse Calculator (also called a VAT extractor) works backwards from a gross, VAT-inclusive price to show the original net price and the exact VAT amount embedded within it. This is needed constantly in business accounting: when a receipt shows a total with no VAT breakdown, when reconciling invoices, or when reclaiming VAT on expenses. Standard UK VAT is 20%; the reduced rate for certain goods (heating, children's clothing) is 5%. The formula is: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate). Any custom VAT rate is supported.
