About this service

UAE VAT is often shown either as a net price (VAT exclusive) or a VAT-inclusive total (VAT inclusive). This calculator supports both directions so you can build a correct invoice total or quickly reverse-calculate the net amount from a gross price.

How it works

This calculator supports two simple VAT workflows. You either add VAT to a base amount (net to gross) or remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive total (gross to net). The key is using the VAT rate as a decimal (for example, 5% becomes 0.05).

Add VAT (net to gross)

Total = Base x (1 + Rate)
VAT = Total - Base

Remove VAT (gross to net)

Base = Total / (1 + Rate)
VAT = Total - Base

Examples

Example 1: Add 5% VAT to AED 100

Base (net): AED 100.00

VAT (5%): AED 5.00

Total (gross): AED 105.00

Example 2: Add 5% VAT to AED 1,000

Base (net): AED 1,000.00

VAT (5%): AED 50.00

Total (gross): AED 1,050.00

Example 3: Extract 5% VAT from AED 105

Total (gross): AED 105.00

Base (net): AED 100.00

VAT (5%): AED 5.00
