Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Goods and Services Tax (GST) and how do I calculate it?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect sales tax applied to the supply of goods and services. To add GST to a net price: Total Price = Net Price + (Net Price * (GST% / 100)). To extract/remove GST from an inclusive total price: Base Price = Total Price / (1 + (GST% / 100)), and GST Tax Amount = Total Price - Base Price.
What is the difference between GST Exclusive (Add GST) and GST Inclusive (Remove GST)?
GST Exclusive means the initial price does not include tax. The tax rate must be added on top of the base amount (e.g., $100 base + 18% GST = $118 total). GST Inclusive means the listed price already contains the tax amount. The base price and tax must be calculated backward (e.g., $118 inclusive = $100 base + $18 tax).
How are CGST, SGST, UTGST, and IGST calculated and split on a tax receipt?
For intra-state transactions (supplies within the same state), the GST is split equally into CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST), or UTGST (Union Territory GST). For example, an 18% tax is split into 9% CGST and 9% SGST. For inter-state transactions (supplies between different states), the tax is applied at 100% as IGST (Integrated GST) and is collected by the central government.
What are the standard GST tax rate slabs in the tax system?
Most tax structures (like India's GST framework) classify goods and services into five standard tax slabs: 0% (essential items, agricultural products), 5% (basic necessities), 12% (standard products), 18% (most services and manufactured goods), and 28% (luxury items, automobiles, tobacco). Our calculator supports all standard slabs and custom rates.
