How the VAT price calculation works
VAT can be added to a price before tax or removed from a VAT-inclusive price. The calculator lets you choose whether the amount you enter is before VAT or already includes VAT.
VAT-exclusive formula
Final Price = Price Before VAT + VAT
VAT-inclusive formula
VAT = Inclusive Price − Price Before VAT
Example
For a price of SAR 1,000 before VAT at a 15% VAT rate, the VAT amount is SAR 150 and the final price including VAT is SAR 1,150.
VAT-inclusive example
If the total price including 15% VAT is SAR 1,150, the price before VAT is SAR 1,000 and the VAT amount is SAR 150.
