The GST Act was passed by the Parliament on March 29, 2017, and came into effect on July 1, 2017. The Goods and Services Tax is an indirect tax introduced by the Indian government on the supply of goods and services within the country. It replaces multiple earlier indirect taxes such as sales tax, VAT, and Excise Duty with a unified tax system.

All businesses operating in India must register for GST and obtain a GST Identification Number (GSTIN). Consumers are required to pay GST on all goods and services they purchase, making it crucial to understand how to calculate GST accurately. You can use the GST calculator to simplify these calculations.

Advantages of Using a GST Calculator

Every product or service purchased is subject to GST. Knowing how much tax you are paying is beneficial, and an Indian GST calculator can assist with this.

• The GST tax calculator provides an accurate estimate of the tax amount payable.
• It saves time by streamlining GST calculations.

Formula to Calculate GST

The GST amount calculator uses standard formulas to add or remove GST from the total price of an item.

Adding GST:

GST Amount = (Price x GST%)
Net Price = Product Cost + GST Amount

Example: If a product costs Rs. 100 and the GST rate is 18%, the GST amount is Rs. 18, making the total Rs. 118.

Removing GST:

GST = Original Cost - [Original Cost x (100 / (100 + GST%))]
Net Price = Original Cost - GST

Example: If the GST-inclusive price is Rs. 118 with an 18% GST rate, the original cost is Rs. 100.
