Vatulator is designed as a PWA. This makes it possible to do calculations even without access to the internet.
You can export the result as text and you can also share a link to the result with a single click.
Soon you will have the ability to keep a history of all VAT
calculations. This can be useful in future for SARS
e-invoicing.
Our calculator always rounds the number down. So, you can always be sure your calculations are correct.
Vatulator allows you to specify any tax rate, not just the
standard South African VAT rate of 15%.
The 13.5% rate applies to fuel, electricity, vet fees,
construction, arts and theatre tickets, cleaning services,
catering and restaurant services.
The 9% applies to newspapers, electronically supplied
publications, sporting activities’ facilities.
The 4.8% applies to livestock in general, and to horses that are
normally intended for use in the preparation of foodstuffs or
for use in agricultural production.
If you want to add VAT to the price, you just need to divide the
price by 100 and then multiply by (100 + VAT percentage).
That's all, you got the price including VAT (Gross value).
If you want to remove VAT from the price, you need to divide the
price by (100 + VAT percentage) and then multiply by 100. Now you
know the price exclusive VAT (Net amount).
If you need to calculate VAT for several products at once, it is
easier to use Excel. I created a template for reverse VAT
calculation – download, it's free.
