VAT calculator
Add VAT to a net amount, or extract VAT from a gross amount, at the rate you choose. The current rate is 15%, and you can pick the two historical rates (5% and 0%) or enter a custom rate for older invoices.
To work out VAT, enter the amount, choose the direction (add or extract), then pick the current rate, one of the two historical rates, or enter a custom rate. The result appears immediately, rounded to the nearest halala. It is free, needs no sign-up, and your numbers never leave your browser.
How to use it
Enter the amount and choose the direction: add VAT to a net amount, or extract it from a gross amount. Pick one of the three rates or enter a custom rate, and the result updates as you type: the net, the VAT amount, and the gross. Copy the figures when you are ready.
When it helps
Invoices and quotations need the tax worked out exactly, and some invoices were issued at the old 5% rate or before VAT existed. Hand calculation invites rounding mistakes, and this tool keeps the net, the tax, and the total always consistent because the gross is the sum of the two rounded parts.
Common questions
Why are there historical rates?
Saudi VAT started in January 2018 at 5% and rose to 15% from July 2020. Older invoices are worked out at the rate in force when they were issued, so the tool offers all three rates plus a custom one.
How are amounts rounded?
Amounts round to the nearest halala, and the gross is built by adding the rounded net and the rounded tax together, so the two parts and the total always agree.
Can I type Arabic digits?
Yes. The box accepts Western digits 0-9, Arabic-Indic digits ٠-٩, the Arabic decimal separator, and thousands separators.
Does the calculator replace a VAT return?
No. The tool only works out the arithmetic. Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority remains the reference for rulings and filing.
