How to use and formula
Enter the amount, use the standard 23% rate or type a reduced rate, then choose whether you want to add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross total.
Gross = net x (1 + rate / 100)
Net = gross / (1 + rate / 100)
VAT amount = gross - net
Example at 23%: €100 net becomes €123.00 gross.

Ireland may have reduced, zero-rated, or exempt supplies. Match the product category before applying the standard rate.
