About This VAT Calculator

This Ireland VAT calculator helps you add VAT to a net amount or remove VAT from a gross amount using the current Irish VAT rates. It is designed for quick estimates only and does not determine the correct VAT treatment of your supply.

Current Irish VAT rates. Revenue currently lists a standard rate of 23%, a reduced rate of 13.5%, a second reduced rate of 9%, a livestock rate of 4.8%, and a zero rate. This calculator includes the common Irish rates used for quick planning and also lets you test a custom rate where needed.

VAT rate selection matters. Most goods and services are taxed at the standard rate, while some categories qualify for reduced, second reduced, zero, or exempt treatment. This tool does not classify your product or service for you, so you should confirm the correct rate with Revenue guidance or your accountant before relying on a final figure.

Zero-rated is not the same as exempt. A zero-rated supply is still a taxable supply at 0%, while exempt activities follow different rules and are not handled by this calculator. Before using 0% as the rate, read the zero-rated vs exempt VAT guide if you are unsure whether the supply is zero-rated, exempt, outside scope or not VAT registered.

This calculator is for estimation and planning only. It does not replace Revenue guidance, bookkeeping advice, or a professional VAT review for your specific transaction.

Add VAT, Remove VAT and Net-of-VAT Formulas

Adding VAT starts with a net price. Removing VAT starts with a gross, VAT-inclusive price. These are inverse calculations, so they do not use the same percentage step.

Add VAT

Net price to gross price

Gross = Net × (1 + VAT rate)

At 23%: €100 × 1.23 = €123.

Remove VAT

Gross price to net-of-VAT price

Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT rate)

At 23%: €123 ÷ 1.23 = €100.

VAT included

Find the VAT portion

VAT = Gross − Net

At 23%: €123 − €100 = €23.

Irish VAT rate Add VAT to €100 net Remove VAT from gross VAT amount
23%€100 → €123.00€123 ÷ 1.23 = €100€23.00
13.5%€100 → €113.50€113.50 ÷ 1.135 = €100€13.50
9%€100 → €109.00€109 ÷ 1.09 = €100€9.00
Do not subtract 23% from a 23% VAT-inclusive price. For example, €123 minus 23% gives €94.71, not the correct €100 net price. Divide €123 by 1.23 instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add VAT to a price in Ireland?
Use Add VAT, enter the net price and choose the rate. The formula is net price × (1 + VAT rate). For example, €100 × 1.23 gives €123 at 23% VAT.
How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
Use Remove VAT, enter the gross amount and choose the rate. Divide the gross price by 1 plus the VAT rate: €123 ÷ 1.23 gives a €100 net price at 23%.
What does net of VAT mean?
Net of VAT means the price before VAT is added, or the VAT-exclusive amount. If a gross price is €123 including 23% VAT, the net-of-VAT price is €100 and the VAT portion is €23.
Can I remove 23% VAT by subtracting 23% from the gross price?
No. The 23% was calculated on the smaller net price. Divide a VAT-inclusive amount by 1.23 to find the correct net amount, then subtract the net amount from the gross amount to find the VAT portion.
What is the standard VAT rate in Ireland?
The standard VAT rate in Ireland is 23%. Reduced rates can apply to some goods and services, so you should always confirm the correct rate for your situation.
Can this calculator calculate reduced VAT rates?
Yes. The calculator includes common Irish VAT rates such as 23%, 13.5%, 9%, 4.8% and 0%, plus a custom rate option for testing a specific scenario.
Is VAT the same as income tax?
No. VAT is a tax on goods and services, while income tax applies to income or profits. VAT calculations do not replace PAYE, income tax, USC or PRSI calculations.
Is zero-rated the same as VAT exempt?
No. Zero-rated supplies are still taxable supplies at 0%, while exempt activities follow different VAT rules and are not handled by this calculator.
Can I use this calculator for every type of product or service?
It is a planning tool only. You still need to confirm the correct VAT treatment of your supply with Revenue guidance or professional advice because rate classification can depend on the exact goods or services involved.
Does this calculator deal with VAT exemptions or registration thresholds?
No. It is not a VAT registration or compliance tool. It does not determine exemptions, thresholds, place-of-supply rules, or sector-specific VAT treatment.
