How VAT is calculated

Excl. VAT → incl. VAT: price incl. = price excl. × (1 + VAT%/100). Incl. → excl.: price excl. = price incl. / (1 + VAT%/100). VAT amount = incl. − excl.

Example

€100 excl. VAT + 25.5% = €125.50 incl. (VAT €25.50). The other way: from €124 incl., excl. is 124 / 1.255 ≈ €98.80.
