How to use GST Calculator

The GST Calculator helps business owners, accountants, and shoppers quickly compute tax amounts for any transaction. Select your calculation mode first. Choose Exclusive (Add GST) if you know the base price before tax and need to find the final price the customer pays — this is the standard mode for raising invoices. Choose Inclusive (Remove GST) if you have the final MRP or sale price and need to extract the base price and tax component separately — useful for accounting and input tax credit claims. Enter the amount in the input field, then choose the applicable GST rate: 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%. These four slabs cover all standard GST categories — 5% for essentials such as food and medicine, 12% for processed foods and standard goods, 18% for most goods and services including IT and telecom, and 28% for luxury items and automobiles. The calculator instantly shows the GST amount, the base price, and the final amount payable. For intra-state transactions, GST is split equally between CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST); each is half the total rate. Switch to the inter-state toggle to display the full IGST amount instead, which applies when goods or services cross a state border. This tool is ideal for raising invoices, verifying supplier bills, and quickly checking the tax component of any purchase. All calculations run entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GST?

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a destination-based, multi-stage indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services. India introduced GST on 1 July 2017, replacing a complex web of central excise duty, VAT, service tax, and other levies with a single unified national tax. Most countries that use GST or VAT follow a similar structure.

What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?

CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) are levied equally on intra-state transactions — each is half the total GST rate. On an 18% intra-state transaction, CGST is 9% and SGST is 9%, collected by the central and state government respectively. IGST (Integrated GST) applies to inter-state and import transactions and equals the full GST rate, collected by the central government.

Which GST rates are supported?

This calculator supports all four standard GST slabs: 5% (essentials including packaged foods, transport, and small restaurants), 12% (processed foods, business-class travel, and certain goods), 18% (most goods and services including IT, telecom, and financial services), and 28% (luxury goods, aerated beverages, and automobiles). The nil (0%) rate requires no calculation.

How do I remove GST from an inclusive price?

To extract GST from a price that already includes tax: Base price = Final price ÷ (1 + GST rate ÷ 100). For example, to remove 18% GST from a final price of ₹1,180: Base = 1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000 and GST = ₹180. The Inclusive tab on this calculator performs this automatically — just enter the MRP and select the rate.

Is GST applicable on exports?

Exports are zero-rated under GST, meaning they are taxed at 0% and registered exporters can claim refunds of all input tax credit paid on their inputs. This calculator is designed for standard domestic transactions. For export-related computations, special economic zone supplies, or exempt supply calculations, consult your chartered accountant or the official GST portal at gst.gov.in.
