About this tool
Calculate VAT from a net (pre-tax) amount, a gross (tax-inclusive) amount or the VAT amount itself, using the rates in force in France (standard, intermediate, reduced, super-reduced, overseas departments) or any custom rate. A table instantly compares every rate for the same amount, rounded to the cent.
How to use this tool
- 1Enter the amount you know (net, gross or VAT).
- 2Choose the rate.
- 3Read the net, VAT and gross figures, and compare the other rates.
Limits to know
- Rounded to the cent at every step, as on an invoice; the sum of several lines can differ by one cent from a single overall calculation.
- The rates shown are those of mainland France and its overseas departments; the rules on which rate applies to which product are not covered.
- Files
- No file to import: everything happens on the page.

Each amount is rounded to the cent, as on an invoice; the sum of the rounded amounts can differ by one cent from an overall calculation. This is the behavior most invoicing software expects.
The calculator offers the French rates (20%, 10%, 5.5%, 2.1%) and a custom rate, but does not determine which one applies: that depends on the nature of the goods or service and is a matter of tax regulation.
