How to use and formula

How to calculate GST in India

Choose add or remove mode, enter the amount, pick the GST slab, and toggle IGST for inter-state supply.

  1. Enter the pre-tax or tax-inclusive amount.
  2. Select the GST rate (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%, etc.).
  3. Enable IGST for inter-state; leave off for CGST+SGST split.

Formulas

GST amount = net × (rate ÷ 100)

Gross total = net + GST amount

Net from gross = gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)

Example at 18%: ₹10,000 net → ₹1,800 GST → ₹11,800 total.

Frequently Asked Questions — GST Calculator

How to add GST to an amount using the GST calculator?+
Select "Add GST" mode, enter your pre-tax amount, pick the GST rate slab, and click Calculate. The calculator instantly shows the GST amount (split as CGST + SGST for intra-state or IGST for inter-state transactions) and the final total including GST.
What is reverse GST calculation?+
Reverse GST extracts the tax from a GST-inclusive total. The formula is: Base Amount = Total ÷ (1 + GST Rate ÷ 100). For example, if your invoice total is ₹11,800 at 18% GST, the base amount is ₹11,800 ÷ 1.18 = ₹10,000 and GST was ₹1,800. Select "Remove GST (Reverse)" mode in the calculator above.
What is the difference between CGST and SGST?+
Both CGST and SGST apply to intra-state (within the same state) transactions and together form the total GST. CGST (Central GST) is collected by the Central Government and SGST (State GST) is collected by the respective State Government. Each is exactly 50% of the total GST — so at 18% GST, CGST is 9% and SGST is 9%. For inter-state transactions, only IGST applies at the full combined rate.
Which items attract 0% GST in India?+
Essential items are exempt from GST (0% slab): fresh and frozen vegetables, milk, eggs, unbranded cereals and pulses, fresh meat and fish, newspapers, educational services, and healthcare services. These items have no GST liability — you can verify the exact HSN code on the CBIC portal.
How do I calculate GST on gold and jewellery?+
Gold and silver attract 3% GST. On jewellery, the making charges are taxed at 5% GST. For example, on a ₹1,00,000 gold item with ₹5,000 making charges: Gold GST = ₹3,000 (3%), Making charges GST = ₹250 (5%), total GST = ₹3,250.
What is the GST registration threshold for businesses?+
Businesses with annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states like Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura) must register for GST. For service providers, the threshold is ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states). Businesses below this threshold can still register voluntarily.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using 18% for every product

GST depends on HSN and item category. Food, gold, and exports can use 5%, 3%, 0.25%, or 0%.

Showing CGST+SGST on an inter-state invoice

Inter-state B2B supply should use IGST only at the applicable slab rate.

Reverse GST by subtracting 18%

From a GST-inclusive total, divide by 1.18 (for 18%), not subtract 18% of the gross amount.

Ignoring composition scheme limits

Composition dealers follow different rules. This calculator uses regular GST math for planning only.
