Anyone running a small business, freelancing, raising an invoice, or just trying to understand whether the price tag in a shop already includes tax has needed a GST calculator at some point. Ours handles every common Indian-GST scenario in one place: add GST on top of a base price (the most common case for invoices and quotations), extract GST from a tax-inclusive price (working backwards from an MRP or shop price), and split the result into the correct CGST/SGST or IGST components depending on whether the transaction is intra-state or inter-state. Standard Indian GST slabs are one-click presets — 3% (gold and jewellery), 5% (essential items, transport, small restaurants), 12% (processed foods, business-class flights), 18% (most services and standard goods), and 28% (luxury items, automobiles) — and a custom field handles non-standard rates including the 0.25% rough-diamond rate or comparable VAT/sales-tax rates from other countries. Common workflows: a freelancer raising a ₹50,000 service invoice and needing to add 18% IGST for an out-of-state client, a shopkeeper figuring out the base price of an item priced at ₹1,180 inclusive of 18% GST so they can mark up correctly, an accountant cross-checking a vendor invoice where the line totals do not add up, a customer at a restaurant wondering whether the bill already includes GST or it is going to be added at the bottom, and a small e-commerce seller working out the GST portion of every order before filing GSTR-1. The arithmetic uses the standard Indian GST formulas: GST amount = base × rate / 100 for tax-exclusive prices, and base = inclusive / (1 + rate/100) for tax-inclusive prices. Use it for quick day-to-day calculations and reference, but for actual filing and official invoices, generate them through certified accounting software (Tally, Zoho Books, ClearTax, etc.) — the calculator does not produce GSTIN-compliant invoices. Pair this with our [Invoice Generator](/tools/invoice-generator) for printable invoices, the [Percentage Calculator](/tools/percentage-calculator) for non-GST tax maths, and the [EMI Calculator](/tools/emi-calculator) for loan-related planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

For intra-state supplies (buyer and seller in the same state), GST is split equally into CGST (Central GST) and SGST (State GST) — for example, an 18% GST becomes 9% CGST + 9% SGST. For inter-state supplies (buyer and seller in different states) the entire GST is charged as IGST (Integrated GST). The calculator shows both splits so you can see what would apply to your specific transaction.
Switch the calculator to "Remove GST" mode and enter the inclusive price along with the rate. The formula is: base price = inclusive / (1 + rate/100). For example, an item priced ₹1,180 inclusive of 18% GST has a base price of ₹1,000 and a GST component of ₹180. This is useful when shop prices already include tax and you need to know the pre-tax amount.
Indian GST has five standard slabs: 0% (essential goods), 5% (basic items like food grains, certain transport), 12% (processed foods, mobile phones, business-class travel), 18% (most services, electronics, restaurants), and 28% (luxury items, automobiles, tobacco). The exact slab depends on the HSN/SAC code for your specific product or service — check the official CBIC rate finder when in doubt.
Yes — set a custom rate to match the GST or VAT rate in your country. Australia (10%), New Zealand (15%), Singapore (9%), Canada GST (5%), UK VAT (20%), and EU VAT rates all work the same way. The CGST/SGST split only applies to India and can be ignored for other jurisdictions.
Use it for quick day-to-day calculations, sanity checks, and price-tag maths. For official GSTIN-compliant invoices, GSTR-1/GSTR-3B filing, and audit-ready records, use certified GST accounting software like Tally, Zoho Books, ClearTax, or the official GSTN portal — those produce the proper invoice format with HSN codes, e-invoice fields, and IRN numbers that this calculator does not generate.
Two simple formulas. To add GST to a base price: GST amount = base × rate / 100; total = base + GST. To extract GST from an inclusive price: base = inclusive / (1 + rate/100); GST amount = inclusive − base. The calculator runs both formulas in JavaScript every time you change an input, so the result is always accurate to the rupee.
No. The calculator is fully client-side — every number you type stays in your browser tab and is discarded the moment you close it. Nothing is sent to any server, no logs, no analytics on the actual values. The only data sent is page-view analytics (anonymous) just like every other website.
