# VAT Calculator

Switch between adding VAT and extracting VAT from a tax-inclusive amount.

## Input data

- **Calculation** - type: choice; default: add; options: Add VAT, Extract VAT
- **Amount** - type: number; default: 100; min: 0; max: 1000000000; step: 0.01
- **VAT rate (%)** - type: number; default: 20; min: 0; max: 100; step: 0.01
- **Currency** - type: choice; default: EUR; options: Euro (€), US dollar ($), British pound (£)

## How it works

Gross = net × (1 + rate). Net = gross ÷ (1 + rate).

## Quick examples

- **Add 20% to €100** - Calculation: add, Amount: 100, VAT rate (%): 20, Currency: EUR
- **Extract 20% from €120** - Calculation: extract, Amount: 120, VAT rate (%): 20, Currency: EUR
- **Add 5.5% to €80** - Calculation: add, Amount: 80, VAT rate (%): 5.5, Currency: EUR

## Understanding your result

When adding VAT, the main result is the tax-inclusive price. When extracting VAT, it is the price before tax. The breakdown always separates the net amount, VAT and gross amount.
