What is a VAT Calculator?
A VAT (Value Added Tax) Calculator is an essential tool for businesses and consumers alike to quickly figure out how much VAT will be added to a product or service price, or how much VAT is included in a total amount. Although VAT is not commonly used across the United States as a federal tax, some states and cities apply similar sales taxes or local business taxes that work like VAT. For businesses engaged in international trade or working with VAT-applicable jurisdictions, this calculator becomes especially useful.
Our VAT Calculator USA is designed to help you estimate VAT amounts with ease—whether you are pricing your products, filing taxes, or comparing costs for imports and exports.

How Does VAT Work?
VAT is a consumption tax added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the final sale. The tax is generally expressed as a percentage of the sale price. When you buy a product, you pay VAT on that item, but businesses can often reclaim VAT they paid on their business purchases.
Even though the US primarily uses sales tax systems, understanding VAT is vital if you’re involved in international business or import/export operations where VAT is applied.
How to Use the VAT Calculator?
- Enter the original price of your product or service.
- Choose the VAT rate applicable to your region or transaction.
- Select whether you want to add VAT on top or calculate VAT included in the price.
- Get instant results showing the VAT amount and total price after tax.
Example
Suppose you have a product priced at $100 and the VAT rate is 10%.
Adding VAT: The total price will be $110 ($100 + $10 VAT).
VAT Included: If $110 is the total price including VAT, then the VAT portion is approximately $10, and the price before VAT is $100.
