When you have a price excluding VAT:
- 25% VAT: Multiply by
1.25. Example: SEK 10,000 * 1.25 = SEK 12,500 incl. VAT.
- VAT amount: The difference (12,500 – 10,000 = 2,500) or directly: 10,000 * 0.25 = 2,500.
- 12% VAT: Multiply by
1.12 or use 0.12 for the VAT amount.
- 6% VAT: Multiply by
1.06 or use 0.06 for the VAT amount.
When you have a price including VAT — “reverse VAT”:
- 25% VAT: VAT amount is 20% of total price (
0.20). Price excl. VAT: total * 0.80.
- 12% VAT: VAT amount approx. 10.71% (
0.1071). Price excl. VAT: total * 0.89.
- 6% VAT: VAT amount approx. 5.66% (
0.0566). Price excl. VAT: total * 0.94.
Example (25% VAT):
- Total amount: SEK 10,000
- VAT amount: 10,000 * 0.20 = SEK 2,000
- Price excl. VAT: 10,000 – 2,000 = SEK 8,000 (or 10,000 * 0.80)
Summary:
- Excl. VAT → incl. VAT: multiply by the VAT factor (e.g.,
1.25 at 25%).
- Incl. VAT → excl. VAT: use reverse VAT (e.g.,
0.80 at 25%).
- VAT amount: total * VAT rate (e.g.,
0.25) or reverse VAT (e.g., 0.20).
