GST Calculator
GST Calculator - Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax that was introduced in India on July 1, 2017, after being passed by Parliament on March 29, 2017. It replaced multiple indirect taxes such as VAT, Excise Duty, and Service Tax, simplifying the tax structure under one umbrella.
GST applies to the supply of all goods and services within India, and every business involved in the sale or provision of goods and services is required to register under GST and obtain a GST Identification Number (GSTIN).
Consumers are required to pay GST on every product or service they purchase, making it essential to calculate the exact tax amount. To make this process easier, a GST calculator can be used to determine the applicable GST quickly and accurately.

Formula for GST Calculation
The GST Calculator follows a standard formula to compute GST for any product or service. It can be used to both add GST to the base price and remove GST from the total price.
For Adding GST:
GST amount = Price × GST%
Net Price = Cost of the product + GST amount
Example: If a product costs Rs. 100 and the GST rate is 18%, the GST amount will be:
100 × 18% = Rs. 18
The total amount payable will be:
100 + 18 = Rs. 118
Types of GST Calculations
- GST Inclusive Amount: This is the price after adding GST to the base cost. It represents the final price paid by the consumer, including the tax.
- GST Exclusive Amount: This is the original price before GST is added. To calculate this amount, the GST is subtracted from the GST-inclusive value.
