Plain-English why
Copyable takeaway
What this means
This starts with a tax-exclusive price and adds the VAT portion on top so you can see the tax and the final amount clearly.
Formula used
VAT amount = net price x VAT rate. Gross price = net price + VAT amount.
Worked example
If a net price is 100 and VAT is 20%, the VAT amount is 20 and the gross price is 120.
Common questions
When should I use add VAT?
Use add VAT when your starting price does not include tax yet and you want the final price including VAT.
What does remove VAT do?
It works backwards from a VAT-inclusive price so you can see the underlying net amount and the tax portion.
Plain-English summary
That is the full price after VAT, with the tax amount split out rather than hidden inside the total.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
