Czech Republic VAT calculator
Type an amount into any of the three boxes; the other two follow at the rate you pick.
VAT = 100.00 × 21% = 21.00; gross = 100.00 + 21.00 = 121.00
Worked in whole cents: the tax is rounded to the nearest cent (half a cent goes up) and the other amount is the difference, so the boxes always add up. From a gross amount the tax is gross × rate ÷ (100 + rate); from a typed tax amount the net is worked back and your tax amount stays as typed. Your tax authority may set its own rounding rules for invoices.
