How this differs from the general calculator

Removing VAT is division, not subtraction. A £120 gross price at 20% VAT contains £20 of VAT, not £24: the net is 120 ÷ 1.2 = £100. Subtracting 20% instead gives £96 and is the most common VAT error on small-business invoices.

How to use the Remove VAT Calculator

  1. Fill in each field with your own figures — the defaults are only there as an example.
  2. The result updates as you type, so there is no button to press.
  3. Check the breakdown under the main result for the supporting numbers.
  4. Use the copy button to take the result with you, or share the link to reload the same inputs.
