About GST Calculator

The Goods and Service Tax (GST) was put into effect on 1st July 2017 and replaced several state and central taxes. It was aimed at simplifying indirect taxes and introduced tax slabs (5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%) based on the type of goods or services. While essential items like food are taxed at 0% or 5%, luxury goods are taxed at higher rates. For intra-state transactions, GST is further divided into Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST), and for inter-state transactions, Integrated GST (IGST) is applied. The GST system has made taxation easier for businesses, particularly so because of the availability of supporting tools like an online GST calculator.

How is GST calculated?

GST Calculation Formula

The following formulas are used to calculate GST:

  • To include GST in the base amount:
    GST = (Original Cost * GST rate) / 100
    Base amount with GST = Original Cost + GST
    For example: If the original cost is Rs. 1000 and GST rate is 10%
    GST = (1000 * 10) / 100 = 100
    Base amount with GST = 1000 + 100 = 1100
  • To exclude GST from the base amount:
    Base amount without GST = Base amount with GST / (1 + GST rate / 100)
    For example: If the base amount with GST is Rs. 1100 and GST rate is 10%
    Base amount without GST = 1100 / (1 + 10 / 100) = 1000

How the GST Calculator Works

The GST Calculator works based on the following formula:
GST Amount = (Selling Price x GST Rate) / 100

Where,

Selling price = Total value of goods or services, calculated by adding the Cost price and Profit amount

Also, the selling price and GST rate are subject to change based on the goods and services involved.

The Total Selling Price is then calculated by adding the Selling Price, GST Amount, and any Cess Amount.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GST calculator?

A GST calculator is a tool used to determine the Goods and Services Tax (GST) amount payable on a transaction. By inputting the cost and applicable GST rate, the calculator computes the GST amount, aiding in accurate tax calculations for businesses and individuals.

What is the percentage of GST in India?

The percentage of GST in India varies depending on the type of goods or service. There are four tax brackets, namely 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.

How do you calculate 18% GST on the total?

To calculate 18% GST on the total, you simply multiply the total amount by 18% (or 0.18). For example, if the total amount is Rs. 1000, the GST amount would be Rs. 180 (1000 x 0.18).

How do I calculate my GST?

To calculate GST on your total sales, you need to first determine the GST rate applicable to your product or service. Once you know the applicable rate, you can multiply the value of your sales by the GST rate to calculate the GST amount.

How can a buyer use the GST calculator?

Input the net price before GST and specify the GST rate. The tool will then compute the total production cost, CGST, SGST, and overall tax amount.

How can a manufacturer / wholesaler use the GST calculator?

Input the production cost or cost of goods, profit ratio percentage, and GST rate. The tool will then display the total production cost, along with CGST, SGST, and the overall tax amount.

How to calculate GST on MRP?

To calculate GST on MRP (Maximum Retail Price), first identify the GST rate for the product. Then, subtract the GST percentage from 100 to determine the base price percentage. For example, if the GST rate is 18%, subtract 18 from 100, leaving 82%. Divide the MRP by 118 and multiply the result by 100 to find the base price. The difference between the MRP and the base price gives you the GST amount. This method works for finding both the inclusive and exclusive GST amounts on MRP-based pricing.

On which value GST is calculated?

GST is calculated on the transaction value of goods or services, which is the price paid for the supply, including any additional costs like packaging, delivery, and commissions. Discounts given at the time of supply are deducted, while later discounts are not considered for GST calculation. The GST rate depends on the product category, and the applicable rate—ranging from 5% to 28%—is added to the transaction value. This comprehensive value serves as the base for calculating GST, ensuring that all additional charges are accounted for in the final tax calculation.

What are the benefits of using an online GST calculator?

The online GST calculator lets you figure out either the gross or net price of a product based on the GST rate as a percentage. It saves time and makes it less likely that a person will make a mistake when figuring out the total cost of goods and services.

How to calculate GST using a GST calculator?

You can easily use the online GST calculator by doing the following:

  • Enter the net price of a service or goods and the GST slabs, such as 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.
  • Click on the "Calculate" button to see the final or gross price of goods and services.

GST calculation formula:

The calculator uses the below-mentioned formula to make it easy for businesses, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to figure out GST:

Simple GST calculation

  • Add GST:
    GST amount = (Original cost x GST%)/100
    Net price = original cost + GST amount
  • Remove GST:
    GST amount = Original cost - [Original cost x {100/(100+GST%)}]
    Net price = Original cost - GST amount

At a cost of Rs.10,000, the manufacturer saves Rs.1405, which is equivalent to a 14% tax savings. This lowers costs for manufacturers, and the savings are eventually passed on to wholesalers, retailers, and consumers.

GST brings down the price of a product, so consumers pay less for goods even though wholesalers and retailers make the same amount of profit.

How to calculate GST in case of reverse charge?

Calculating a reverse charge is not very different from figuring out GST. A reverse charge is when the person who buys the goods has to pay the GST instead of the person who sells them. In both situations, the tax is the same. For example, if you bought items worth Rs. 10,000. At 18%, the GST to be paid will be Rs. 1,800. If CGST and SGST are charged, each will cost Rs. 900. The only difference is that in a reverse charge, the tax amount, which in this case is Rs. 1,800, is due by the recipient.
