The method
How it works
Adding VAT
A net amount is multiplied by 1 plus the VAT rate as a decimal. At 20%, a net €100 becomes €120 gross.
Removing VAT
A gross amount is divided by 1 plus the VAT rate. This avoids the common mistake of subtracting the VAT percentage directly.
Rounding
Displayed currency values are rounded to two decimal places. Tax invoices may use jurisdiction-specific line-level rounding rules.
