How this is worked out
The standard rate of VAT is 20%. The reduced rate is 5%, used for some goods and services such as home energy and children's car seats. The zero rate is 0%, used for most food and children's clothes. Some things are exempt, which is not the same as zero-rated, and this calculator does not decide which rate applies.
Adding VAT multiplies the net amount by the rate. Removing VAT divides the gross amount by 1 plus the rate. The standard rate has been 20% since 4 January 2011.
