Arithmetic that
actually holds up

Every figure runs on decimal maths, so cents never drift. Reverse VAT is a division, not a subtracted percentage — the difference banks and spreadsheets quietly get wrong.

Rates with a
paper trail

No hardcoded numbers. Each VAT rate carries the statute it comes from and the date we last checked it — and queries by date, so a 2019 invoice uses the 2019 rate.

The number the
poster won’t show

A “VAT-free day” can’t legally drop VAT — the shop divides by 1.21. That’s a 17.36% discount, not 21%. We show the arithmetic plainly and let the reader draw the conclusion.

Questions

Before you trust a number.

Why not just use a normal calculator?
Ordinary calculators use floating-point maths, where 0.1 + 0.2 doesn’t quite equal 0.3. On money that shows up as one-cent drift. Everything here runs on exact decimal arithmetic, so the totals reconcile.
How is “reverse VAT” different from taking off the percentage?
Subtracting 22% from a gross price is wrong. VAT was added by multiplying, so it comes off by dividing: €122 ÷ 1.22 = €100.00, not €95.16. Every tool here does it the correct way.
Where do the VAT rates come from?
A sourced, dated table — each rate names its statute (CGI, Ley 37/1992, DPR 633/1972…) and the date it was last verified. Rates are queried by date, so historical calculations use the rate that was in force then.
Which countries are covered?
France, Spain, Italy, Poland and Bulgaria are fully seeded and sourced at launch. The table’s structure covers all 27 EU states plus the UK and Switzerland, and more are added the same dated, sourced way.
Does anything I type get sent anywhere?
No. Every calculation happens in your browser, instantly, with no server round-trip. There’s nothing to submit and nothing to store.
