What is GST?
The Goods and Services Tax is charged on most supplies of goods and services in India. The seller collects it and pays it to the government.
How to use this calculator
- Choose whether to add GST or remove it.
- Enter the price.
- Pick the GST rate.
- Switch on IGST if the supply goes to another state.
How the calculation works
Add: GST = price × rate · Remove: price before GST = price ÷ (1 + rate)
Worked example
A bill of ₹11,800 including 18% GST: price before GST ₹10,000.00, GST ₹1,800.00 (CGST ₹900.00 + SGST ₹900.00).
