What is GST?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the sale of goods and services in India. Introduced to simplify the country's indirect tax system, GST replaced multiple central and state taxes with a single, unified tax structure.

Depending on the type of product or service, GST is charged at different rates. This calculator helps you quickly determine the GST amount, the original amount before GST, and the final amount after GST without performing any manual calculations.

How to Use the GST Calculator?

Using the calculator is simple. Enter the amount, choose the applicable GST rate, and specify whether the amount already includes GST or excludes GST. The calculator instantly computes the GST amount, the amount before GST, and the final total.

If your entered amount already includes GST, select Includes GST to determine the original amount before tax and the GST component. If the amount is before tax, select Excludes GST (Add GST) to calculate the final amount payable after GST is added.

Current GST Rates in India

GST in India is levied at different rates depending on the type of goods or services being supplied. While the GST Council periodically reviews these rates, the most commonly used GST slabs are shown below.

GST Rate Typically Applicable To
0% Essential goods and GST-exempt supplies.
5% Selected food products, transport services and other notified goods.
18% The standard GST rate applicable to a majority of goods and services in India.
40% Applicable to certain luxury or special category goods where notified.

If you are unsure which GST rate applies to your product or service, consult the latest notifications issued by the GST Council or seek professional advice from your accountant or tax consultant.

How is GST Calculated?

GST can be calculated in two different ways depending on whether the amount you have already includes GST or whether GST needs to be added to it. While the calculator above performs these calculations instantly, understanding the basic formulas can be helpful for businesses, freelancers and students.

When the Amount Excludes GST

If the entered amount is before GST, the GST amount is calculated by multiplying the amount by the applicable GST rate. The final invoice amount is then obtained by adding the GST to the original amount.

When the Amount Includes GST

If the entered amount already includes GST, the calculator first determines the original amount before tax and then separates the GST component from the total. This is commonly referred to as reverse GST calculation and is useful when working with bills or invoices that already include tax.
