Standard rate in the UK, France and Austria. Most of Europe sits between 19% and 25%.

How it is calculated
Net to gross: add the rate. Gross to net: divide by one plus the rate. Rounded to the cent, like on an invoice.
total = net + VAT
net = total ÷ (1 + rate)
Example: €1,000 net at 20% means €200 VAT and €1,200 total. At 5%: €50 VAT and €1,050 total.
VAT rates change. The country list shows the main rates as we last checked them; confirm with the official tax authority before you invoice.
VAT questions
How do I add VAT to a net price?
Multiply the net price by one plus the rate. At 20%, €100 net becomes €120 gross: €100 × 1.20. The calculator does this when you choose Net → gross.
How do I take VAT out of a gross price?
Divide the gross price by one plus the rate. At 20%, €120 ÷ 1.20 = €100 net, so the VAT is €20. Choose Gross → net.
Are the country rates up to date?
They are the main standard and reduced rates as we last checked them. Rates change, and many countries have extra reduced or zero rates for specific goods. Check the official tax authority, or your accountant, before you invoice. You can always pick Custom rate.
What if my company is not VAT registered?
Then you usually invoice without VAT and add the legal mention your country requires. Small businesses under the registration threshold often work this way.
