How is the VAT Calculated? (HMRC Formula)

The UK standard VAT rate is 20%, set by HMRC. To add 20% VAT to any net amount, multiply by 1.20. This is the official HMRC formula used by all UK VAT-registered businesses.

HMRC Formula — Add VAT

£6,000 × 1.20 = £7,200

Net × (1 + VAT rate) = Gross

VAT amount only

£6,000 × 0.20 = £1,200

Net × VAT rate = VAT amount

What if £6,000 Already Includes VAT?

If £6,000 is the gross (VAT-inclusive) price, you need to divide by 1.20 to find the net amount. This is called reverse VAT or removing VAT.

£6,000 ÷ 1.20 =

£5,000.00 net

VAT element: £1,000.00
