About this tool
The world tax calculator looks up headline VAT, GST, or sales tax for 190+ countries and many US states or Canadian provinces. You can also type any custom percent, then add tax to a net amount or extract it from a gross price.
Rates are simplified snapshots for education and travel planning. Local reduced rates, thresholds, and exemptions may differ from the headline figure shown.
India GST slabs and German/Japanese VAT presets also have dedicated pages when you want those workflows highlighted.
Formula
Exclusive: tax = net × rateInclusive: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate)Gross = net + tax
How it is calculated
- Pick a country (or Custom) in the list — grouped by continent.
- Optional: US state, Canadian province, reduced rate, or type any % to override.
- Enter an amount as tax-exclusive or tax-inclusive. Leave amount at 0 just to read the rate.
- If your country, school or provider uses different rules, pick another option in the “Standard” menu at the top.
Questions
Are these the legal rates for 2026?
They are headline national rates compiled for 2025/26. Cities, states, reduced food rates, and mid-year reforms differ. Confirm on the invoice or with a local authority. This is not tax advice.
How do I check a rate that is not listed?
Type it in Custom rate %. The amount fields still add or extract tax at that percent.
Is this income tax?
No — this page is VAT, GST, and sales tax on a purchase. Open the income tax calculator for wages and progressive brackets.
When should I change the “Standard” setting?
When the rules you work with differ from the default chosen for your language. This page has 199 options — pick the one for your country or case. The formula, steps and result update to match your choice.
