VAT on, VAT off.

Including-VAT to excluding-VAT is the calculation everyone gets wrong — it’s a division, not a subtraction. Both directions here, with the common European rates one click away.

Field notes

Why isn’t removing 24% VAT the same as subtracting 24%?

Because the VAT was added on top of the net. A 100 kr item at 24% sells for 124 kr; taking 24% of 124 off leaves 94.24 — wrong. The correct move is dividing by 1.24, which is exactly what this does.

Are the preset rates current?

They’re the standard rates as of mid-2026. Countries also have reduced rates (food, books, hotels…) — if your receipt shows one, type it into the rate box directly. Rates change rarely but do change; the box always wins over the preset.

Can I type European decimals?

Yes — 12,5 and 12.5 both work, and thousands separators are fine (1,234.56 or 1.234,56). A lone comma followed by exactly three digits, like 1,234, is read as one thousand two hundred thirty-four.

Where does this run?

Entirely in your browser. Numbers you type are never sent anywhere — there is no server doing the math, no analytics watching you do it.
