VAT calculator
Enter an amount and choose the rate: net, VAT and gross appear at once. It works both ways, adding VAT to a net amount or extracting it from a gross price, even with several amounts at different rates. Rounding follows invoice rules: VAT rounded per rate and, if you wish, the total rounded to 5 centimes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove 8.1 % Swiss VAT from a price? +
Divide the gross amount by 1.081: CHF 108.10 gives a net of CHF 100.00 and VAT of CHF 8.10. Choose “From gross” and enter the price including VAT.
What are the VAT rates in Switzerland? +
Since 1 January 2024: 8.1 % standard, 3.8 % for accommodation, 2.6 % reduced (food, books, medicines). Until 2023 they were 7.7 %, 3.7 % and 2.5 %. Liechtenstein applies the same rates.
Why can the total differ by one centime? +
VAT is rounded per rate on the total, as on an invoice, not line by line. That way the result matches a correct invoice.
What is rounding to 5 centimes? +
In Switzerland cash payments are rounded to 5 centimes. The option rounds only the total: net and VAT stay exact.
Can I calculate Italian or German VAT? +
Yes: Italy (22 %, 10 %, 5 %, 4 %), Germany (19 %, 7 %), France (20 %, 10 %, 5.5 %, 2.1 %) and Austria (20 %, 13 %, 10 %).
