Online VAT Calculator
Fast calculation of Value Added Tax using selected rates (20%, 7%, 14%, 0%).
How VAT is calculated
VAT (value added tax) is charged on the base value of goods or services. Ukraine applies a 20% standard rate, two reduced rates (7% and 14%), and a 0% rate for certain transactions. Check current rules before a tax calculation.
Add: VAT = Amount × Rate ÷ 100. Extract: VAT = Amount − Amount ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100)
To extract VAT from an amount that already includes tax, divide it by (1 + rate). For example, from 120 UAH at 20%, VAT is 20 UAH and the net amount is 100 UAH.
VAT calculation examples
Example 1 — add VAT. Price before tax is 1,000 UAH, rate 20%. VAT = 1,000 × 20 ÷ 100 = 200 UAH, total to pay — 1,200 UAH.
Example 2 — extract VAT from a total. An invoice for 1,200 UAH already includes 20% VAT. Net amount = 1,200 ÷ 1.2 = 1,000 UAH, VAT = 1,200 − 1,000 = 200 UAH.
Example 3 — 7% rate. A receipt for 535 UAH includes 7% VAT. Net amount = 535 ÷ 1.07 = 500 UAH, VAT = 35 UAH. Check the Tax Code to see whether the reduced rate applies to your goods.
How to use the VAT calculator
Enter the amount from your document. Type the figure exactly as printed on the invoice, waybill or receipt, with or without VAT.
Pick the rate. 20% is preselected — the standard rate in Ukraine. Quick-select buttons cover 14%, 7% and 0%.
Decide on the direction. “Add” when VAT is charged on top of a net price. “Extract” when the tax is already inside the final amount — a customer receipt, a utility bill, an online checkout total.
Compare the three numbers. The calculator returns the amount without VAT, the VAT amount and the total. A copy button puts each result on the clipboard, and the “Write the total in words” link opens the amount in words converter with that sum filled in.
The amount accepts values up to 1,000,000,000 UAH with kopecks (step 0.01); the rate is one of four: 0%, 7%, 14% or 20%. Everything runs in your browser.
Adding VAT vs. extracting VAT: getting the direction right
A supplier invoice. On invoices and waybills the price is normally stated without tax and VAT sits on a separate line — use “Add”, the base is the net amount. A receipt, a utility bill or an online order shows one final figure with the tax already added — use “Extract”, the base is that amount divided by (1 + rate ÷ 100), and the tax is the difference between the total and the base.
Extract: Base = Amount ÷ (1 + Rate ÷ 100)
VAT = Amount − Base
The most common mistake is multiplying an already grossed-up total by the rate: 1,200 × 20% = 240 UAH, while the tax inside 1,200 UAH is 200 UAH, because 20% applies to the 1,000 UAH base.
Share of VAT already contained in a VAT-inclusive amount
| VAT rate | Calculation rate | Share of a VAT-inclusive total | Example: out of 1,200 UAH |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | 20/120 | 16.67% | 200.00 UAH |
| 14% | 14/114 | 12.28% | 147.37 UAH |
| 7% | 7/107 | 6.54% | 78.50 UAH |
At 20%, VAT is exactly one sixth of a VAT-inclusive amount: out of 1,200 UAH the tax is 200 UAH. Use the percentage calculator for any other share.
VAT rates in Ukraine
| Rate | Tax Code reference | Which transactions |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | Sub-clause «а» of item 193.1 | The standard rate: almost all goods, works, services and imports. If a transaction falls under no exemption, 20% applies. |
| 14% | Sub-clause «г» of item 193.1 | Selected agricultural products: grain, corn, oil crops (UKT VED codes in groups 1001, 1005 and other listed codes). |
| 7% | Sub-clause «в» of item 193.1 | Medicines and medical products, medical equipment for clinical trials, cultural services (concerts, shows of original works, excursions in museums, zoos and nature reserves, adapted films) and accommodation services (KVED 55.10). |
| 0% | Items 195.1.1, 195.1.3, Art. 195.2 |
Export and re-export of goods, duty-free trade, the free customs zone, international passenger and freight carriage, and works with goods temporarily imported into Ukraine. |
| No VAT | Art. 199, 200 | Transactions exempt from taxation. Important: this is not the same as 0% — the payer loses the right to a tax credit. |
The rate depends on the code: UKT VED for goods, KVED for services. If a code falls under the list of reduced rates, the invoice must show 7% or 14%, not 20%.
Sole traders on the simplified system: 3% with VAT or 5% without VAT
A sole trader on the single tax pays a percentage of revenue instead of calculating VAT per transaction: 3% in the “with VAT” mode or 5% in the “without VAT” mode. The 3% rate lets the trader work as a VAT payer; at 5% the invoice says “without VAT”.
A third-group sole trader may apply the 3% rate while annual revenue stays within 10,091,049 UAH; first and second group limits are 1,444,049 UAH and 7,211,598 UAH per year. Going over the limit means moving to the general system, where VAT is charged separately at 20%, 14%, 7% or 0%.
On the simplified system, a contract price with VAT and a price without VAT are two different things. If the counterparty works with VAT and you need the net figure, extract the tax: base = VAT-inclusive amount ÷ 1.2 at the 20% rate, then compare that base with your cost of goods.
Next, connect the net amount to your margin: the markup and margin calculator works from the selling price, that is, from the amount the customer pays. If the estimate is built around a loan, the loan calculator gives the payment schedule — VAT is charged on the value of the sale, not on the borrowed sum.
FAQ about VAT
Which VAT rates can I use in the calculator?
The calculator provides 20%, 7%, 14%, and 0% rates for examples. Laws and tax rules can change, so check current official sources before a tax calculation.
Who must register as a VAT payer?
Mandatory VAT registration applies once the volume of taxable transactions over the last 12 months exceeds the threshold set by the Tax Code of Ukraine. The threshold and rules can be changed by legislators, so check current conditions on the State Tax Service website. You can also register voluntarily — this gives the right to a tax credit.
Can I extract VAT from any amount?
Yes, if you know the amount includes tax at a known rate. The calculator will immediately show the net amount and the tax amount separately.
How can I quickly extract 20% VAT from a VAT-inclusive amount?
Divide the amount by 6: VAT is 20/120, one sixth of the VAT-inclusive total (about 16.67%). From 1,200 UAH that is 200 UAH. For the 7% rate the share is 7/107 (about 6.54%), for 14% it is 14/114 (about 12.28%).
How is the 0% rate different from operations “without VAT”?
The 0% rate applies to operations that are subject to VAT (for example, exports of goods), so the payer keeps the right to a tax credit. Exempt operations are made “without VAT” and do not give that right. See the Tax Code for the exact lists.
How do sole traders on the single tax pay VAT, and what is their revenue limit?
A sole trader on the single tax pays 3% of revenue in the “with VAT” mode or 5% in the “without VAT” mode. A third-group trader may use 3% while annual revenue stays within 10,091,049 UAH; first and second group limits are 1,444,049 UAH and 7,211,598 UAH per year. Going over the limit means moving to the general system, where VAT is charged separately at 20%, 14%, 7% or 0%.
How can I verify the calculator's result by hand?
At 20%, divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 6: 1,200 UAH becomes 1,000 UAH net plus 200 UAH of VAT. For 7% the share is 7/107 (about 6.54%), for 14% it is 14/114 (about 12.28%). Multiply the base by the rate as a second check: 1,000 × 20% = 200 UAH.
Which mistakes are most common when calculating VAT by hand?
Multiplying an already grossed-up total by the rate: 1,200 × 20% = 240 UAH instead of 200 UAH. Confusing the 0% rate with “without VAT” operations, which give no tax credit. Applying 20% to goods that qualify for 7% or 14%. Rounding the base to whole hryvnias before computing the tax.
Can I use the calculator if I am not a VAT payer?
Yes. Non-payers need the calculation to estimate gross costs, compare a supplier’s offer with the price without tax, or work out a margin; a VAT payer uses the same result for the input credit. In both cases the direction matters: “Add” for invoices showing a price without VAT, “Extract” for receipts and final totals.
How do I calculate the margin when the selling price includes VAT?
Margin is calculated from the amount the customer pays, that is, the VAT-inclusive price. For a net margin, extract the tax first (base = amount ÷ 1.2 at 20%) and then compare the base with your cost. The reverse order inflates the margin and hides the real profit.
