The GST Act, enacted by the Parliament on March 29, 2017, became effective on July 1 of the same year. The Goods and Services Tax is an indirect tax imposed by the Indian government on the sale of goods and services within the country. It consolidates multiple previous indirect taxes like sales tax, VAT, and Excise Duty into a single tax.

All businesses operating in India are required to register for GST and obtain a GST Identification Number (GSTIN). Consumers must pay GST on all goods and services they purchase, making it essential to understand how to calculate GST accurately. You can use the GST calculator to assist with these calculations.

Benefits of Using a GST Calculator

Every product or service purchased is subject to GST. Understanding how much tax you are paying is advantageous, and an Indian GST calculator can help with this.

• The GST tax calculator provides an accurate estimate of the payable tax amount.
• It saves time by simplifying GST calculations.

Formula to Calculate GST

The GST amount calculator uses standard formulas for adding or removing GST from the total price of an item.

For adding GST:

GST Amount = (Price x GST%)

Net Price = Product Cost + GST Amount

For example, if a product costs Rs. 100 and GST is 18%, the GST amount is Rs. 18, making the total Rs. 118.

For removing GST:

GST = Original Cost – [Original Cost x {100/(100 + GST%)}]

Net Price = Original Cost – GST

For example, if the GST-inclusive price is Rs. 118 with an 18% GST, the original cost is Rs. 100.
