About this calculator
How do I remove 20% VAT?
Divide by 1.2, do not subtract 20%. On a £120 gross figure the net is £100 and the VAT is £20. Subtracting 20% would wrongly give £96.
Do I charge VAT on materials I buy for a customer?
Generally yes, on the full value you invoice, and you reclaim the VAT on your purchase separately. Reverse-charge rules apply to some construction subcontracting. Check your local scheme.
The formula
net = gross ÷ (1 + VAT rate)
