How to add VAT to a price
Multiply the net amount by the VAT rate and add it. At 21 %, €1,000 net carries €210 of VAT, for a total of €1,210. Shortcut: net × 1.21.
How to remove VAT from a price
Divide the total by 1 plus the rate. If €1,210 includes 21 % VAT, the net amount is €1,210 ÷ 1.21 = €1,000 and the VAT is €210.
A common mistake is to take 21 % off the total: €1,210 − 21 % = €955.90, which is not the net amount. VAT is calculated on the net amount, not on the total.
