This tutorial will demonstrate how to calculate VAT in Excel and Google Sheets.
Calculate VAT in Excel
VAT can be calculated in Excel using a simple formula.
=C5*10%
This formula will calculate the VAT amount based on a VAT rate of 10%. When you enter the formula, you can either type 10% or you can type 0.1 – both methods will return the same result.
To get the total value of the product, you would then need to add the Price + VAT together
=C5+D5
You can also calculate the VAT in a formula without having a separate VAT column in your spreadsheet.
This formula will return a total price including the VAT amount.
=C5+(C5*10%)
Calculate VAT in Google Sheets
You can calculate VAT in Google Sheets in the same way.
