Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the net amount by 1.20 for the standard rate (20%), 1.05 for the reduced rate (5%), or leave unchanged for zero-rated items. This calculator does it automatically.
How do I remove VAT from a gross price?
Divide the gross amount by 1.20 (standard rate) or 1.05 (reduced rate) to get the net amount. The difference is the VAT. Switch to “Remove VAT” mode above to calculate this instantly.
What is the current UK VAT rate?
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to certain goods and services such as home energy, children’s car seats, and some building work. Some items are zero-rated (0%), including most food, children’s clothing, and books.
When do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period (2025/26 threshold). You can also voluntarily register below this threshold.
