How this estimate is worked out
This is an estimate only. It uses a simplified progressive PAYE model with the standard individual annual exemption threshold and CSG at 1.5% / 3%. It ignores allowances, reliefs (dependants, pension, medical, etc.), NSF and Solidarity Levy. Rates and thresholds change each Budget — always confirm with the MRA or your accountant.
It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you type is sent anywhere, stored or tracked.
Divide. Don't subtract.

The difference
MRA
- Output VAT the VAT you charge customers
- Input VAT the VAT you pay suppliers
On your return you generally remit the difference.
Standard-rated — most goods & services, at 15%.
Zero-rated — charged at 0% (e.g. certain exports and staples), but still reportable.
Exempt — no VAT charged, and input VAT usually can't be reclaimed.
gross = net × 1.15
net = gross ÷ 1.15
VAT = gross − net
Whether you must register depends on your turnover and activity. If you are close to the threshold or unsure of your category, confirm with the MRA or your accountant before you rely on any figure.
It is not tax advice; the MRA is the final word.

Good to know
Is the VAT figure exact?
Yes — at the standard 15% rate the VAT and net figures are computed exactly, with proper division for VAT-inclusive amounts. The only rounding is to two decimals for display. If your item is zero-rated or exempt, the 15% assumption won't apply — confirm your category with the MRA.
How do I remove VAT from a total?
Divide the VAT-inclusive total by 1.15 to get the net, then subtract the net from the total to get the VAT. Do not simply take 15% off the total — that gives the wrong answer. Switch the calculator to “Incl. VAT — remove 15%” and it does this for you.
Is anything I type stored or sent anywhere?
No. The whole calculator runs client-side in your browser. There is no account, no upload, no tracking of the numbers you enter, and it keeps working even offline once the page has loaded.
How accurate is the salary / PAYE estimate?
It's a clearly-labelled estimate. It applies a simplified progressive PAYE model with the standard individual annual exemption and CSG at 1.5% / 3%. It deliberately ignores personal allowances, reliefs (dependants, pension, medical), NSF and the Solidarity Levy. Use it as a quick sanity-check, then confirm exact figures with the MRA or your accountant.
Do rates change? Will this stay current?
VAT has been 15% for some time, but PAYE thresholds and bands are revised in the national Budget. We keep this tool aligned with the standard rates in use. For anything you file, always verify against current MRA guidance.
