When your price excludes VAT
Multiply the price by 15% to find the VAT, then add it to the original price.
1,000.00 × 15% = 150.00 SAR VAT

Difference from entered inclusive total: SAR
Line net values are rounded first, then VAT is calculated on their combined net value. This may change an inclusive quoted total by a few halalas. The calculated total above is net plus VAT.
Standard 15% VAT. Values are rounded half-up to a halala; the total reconciles to net plus VAT.
Calculated in your browser. No account or email needed.
Understand the numbers
Start with the amount you know. We separate the price and the tax so you can see both.
When your total includes VAT
Multiply the total by 15 ÷ 115 to find the VAT already included. Subtract that VAT from the total.
1,150.00 × 15 ÷ 115 = 150.00 SAR VAT
A simple purchase, two ways to calculate
For a standard-rated purchase priced at SAR 1,000 before VAT, both routes reach the same breakdown.
| Starting amount | Before VAT | VAT at 15% | Total including VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price excludes VAT | 1,000.00 | 150.00 | 1,150.00 |
| Total includes VAT | 1,000.00 | 150.00 | 1,150.00 |

A few details that matter
- Do not subtract 15% of an inclusive total to extract VAT. Use 15 ÷ 115 instead.
- A fixed line discount uses the selected inclusive/exclusive price basis.
- Use this for standard-rated amounts only. Zero-rated and exempt supplies need different treatment.

Questions about VAT calculations
Can I calculate without entering an email?
Yes. Calculation, copying, printing and worksheet export are available without an account. Inputs stay in this browser session.
Why is VAT not 15% of the VAT-inclusive total?
The inclusive total represents 115% of the before-VAT price. The VAT portion is therefore 15/115 of that total.
Can I use the worksheet as an invoice?
No. It is a planning estimate and does not include the required invoice fields or e-invoicing checks.
Does this cover all Saudi taxes?
No. It covers standard-rate VAT arithmetic only, not Zakat, withholding tax, excise or a complete VAT return.
