Frequently Asked Questions

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. In France, the standard rate is 20%, with reduced rates of 10%, 5.5%, and 5% for certain goods and services.

To calculate VAT on a price excluding tax: VAT Amount = Price HT × (Rate / 100). For example, for €500 at 20%: VAT = 500 × 0.20 = €100. Total incl. VAT = €600.

To extract VAT from a TTC price: Price HT = Price TTC / (1 + Rate/100). Then VAT = Price TTC − Price HT. Example: €1,200 TTC at 20%: HT = 1200/1.20 = €1,000. VAT = €200.

In France: 20% (standard rate — most goods and services), 10% (restaurants, renovations, passenger transport), 5.5% (food, books, cultural events), 5% (accommodation for people with disabilities), 0% (certain exempt activities).

The net price is the amount before tax, the VAT amount is the tax added on top, and the gross price is the total including VAT. In short: gross price = net price + VAT.

How this calculator works

Formula explanation

**Formula:** VAT Amount = Price (excl. VAT) × VAT Rate / 100 | Total (incl. VAT) = Price (excl.) + VAT Amount | To extract VAT from a total: VAT = Total − (Total / (1 + Rate/100))

Worked example

**Example:** A product costs €1,000 excl. VAT with a 20% rate. VAT = 1,000 × 20% = €200. Total incl. VAT = €1,200.
